Ranger Ride'n As a Family

Each year Hunter Industries, one of the two largest sprinkler manufactures, sponsors a family-friendly four-wheeler ride for contractors, suppliers, and their families. We went yesterday, along with several of Nic's coworkers. We lent out our four-wheeler and were able to borrow a Ranger so that all of us, including Hannah, could come along. The ride was about 44 miles long and took nearly 4 1/2 hours. It was a lot of fun (except by the last 1/2 hour, I was done!)


Here's a fun picture of all of us and one of Hannah getting to drive. You can also see how dirty she got! We were all extremely dirty and that was with going through almost an entire package of wipes along the way!

The ride was beautiful. It was up Daniel's Summit. There were lots of wild flowers. Also you can see a picture of the Ranger we rode. It had a windshield, which at least saved us from the direct dust, and a bench seat with seat belts.

Hannah fell asleep after 3 hours and slept for nearly an hour. That was probably the hardest part on me though, because I was trying to take all the bumps for her. She was very pleasant the entire time. I'm glad she got a nap in!
Here we are at the end of our journey: tired, hungry, with a headache, sore back and legs, and absolutely filthy... but boy, did we have fun!

Looks like you had a great day.

Woah, that looks like fun! But it does sound way long and tiring. I can't believe Hannah could fall asleep through all that bumpiness.

that's pretty much my life here on the farm...lots of dirt and wet-wipes. No really, that looks fun and what a great view.
p.s. are you sure you're pregnant?! you allen girls are tiny.
