memorial day weekend

memorial day weekend is the time we like to take our trailer down to our lot. so late saturday afternoon, we loaded the trailer and headed down to fairview. if you remember, it was not a dry weekend! after slipping and slooshing (while i'm holding on with white knuckles!) up the mountain, we finally got to the top with no calamaties. and... just as we got the trailer to it's summer resting spot, the clouds burst and it rained all night.

just a little glimpse of how hard it was raining

this is the last hill we had to get up. it was a total mess!

sunday afternoon, chet and tiffany came down with kendyl and ryker. they pulled the four wheeler trailer down. by the time they got down to the lot, the tires had about 4 inches of mud and rocks on them.

monday morning turned out to be really nice. we did unload the wheelers and went for little rides (mostly down to godwin's), but we did ride them.

we put the swing up and ryker loved it!

kendyl actually likes the swing this year. last year, she didn't want anything to do with it. (she even wanted to go higher!)

ryker, sharing his fruit bar with "gammpa". (yes... we even have to take fruit bars camping with us!)

chet even got tiff in the swing. twisted her up as far as he could, and let go!

we had a great time, despite the rain. but then of course, this picture was what it was like as we were leaving to come home. beautiful, huh!

(this is why we love to go down there).

goodbye to fairview, until next weekend.
