An Easter Ride

Last weekend was spent with family and friends as we enjoyed a barbecue for my birthday.  Yesterday I saw my kids, had doggie daycare and two weddings this weekend so Easter Sunday was spent with just the two of us.  We give praise to God for everything and know Christ is risen.

Since my quad has been out of commission for months and recently repaired, we set out for the desert hills of Nelson, NV.  The desert was gorgeous today!  It was a bright sunny day, the desert flowers are blooming and we enjoyed a peaceful ride over to Keyhole Canyon.

While there are a ton of petroglyphs on the rocks in that area, I found something I've not seen before in that area...painted glyphs.  You can always see and find something new...even in a place you've been to many times before.  I thought I'd share with you today.  Have a blessed Easter.

Quick Utah Get-away

I got my little adventure finally.  We took my 4 wheeler up to Cedar City for some TLC so it's ready for spring.  After talking about some barbecue, Chris recommended Sonny's BBQ so we grabbed some before heading up Cedar Mountain.  Good grub by the way...looks like another favorite place to eat in Cedar.

We stopped at Wood's Ranch, it's still really covered with snow.  If you know Cassy, you know she loves snow.  She must have rolled around in it for 15 minutes before doing anything else.  

And if you know Shelby, you know she just wants to play fetch.

We headed up to the top of the mountain and turned around at Midway.  The wind was really chilly up there and we weren't prepared to hang out in it but we did let the dogs get out and play a bit more.  

She was trying to catch snowballs.  I thought she was going to dig half way to China to find one of them. 

With that being said, here's another video for you.

When getting back to town I shopped at a cute little shop on the main drag called Country and More...I think.  It's in the old Bulloch Drug building.  Cute stuff...I bought a couple of frames.  An early dinner at Lupitas...Timm's favorite Mexican restaurant and we headed home.  I'm glad he took the day off to go with me, I really enjoyed it...and the girls did too. 

Something in the sky

 It's a bird...it's a plane...it the Thunderbirds!

I was working out in the yard on a few things and the Thunderbirds were out practicing again today and I managed a few shots.  I missed the one where I swear I could have waved to them when flew over the house.

I never tire of watching them.

Although, Cassy could seem to care less...

Shelby too
