On Easter Saturday Robert called to see if we wanted to go do something. After thinking about what we could do with the weather only being so-so we decided to go to Topaz Mt. It was a fun drive and we just had fun enjoying each other and driving through the desert. We found a little cave that looked like Indians of old built it. Just kidding it was some other campers that started to build the cave. But it was kind of neat and we had to hike up and take a look at it. Nicholas of course had to ride his dirt bile up the rock. I am fearful that one of these times that kid is gong to get hurt he is not scared of anything. but maybe girls:) Actually that is the only fear he has. He is a cute kid and I want to keep the girls away as long as I can. So I am OK with the fear of girls issue. Anywhos... We had fun finding Topaz in the hills, and being together with family. Roberts kids are so cute. Stacey stayed home with the new baby for some much needed rest.
After leaving Topaz Mt. we headed over to see a Volcano that Robert found online some time ago. On the way they we had to cross over a sandy drain ditch. Needless to say Robert Mr. Dodge picked a most lovely area to cross over in which he thought that his Newly purchased Dodge Power Wagon could tackle. Needless to say HE WAS WRONG! Ken was radioing him and telling him to Shut It Down. Like they do at the local Delta Crash up Derby. It was kind of funny. He kept saying "Robert shut her down" "Shut her down" It was funny! Well needless to say again Robert was not letting the Chevy Durmax pull him out of the sand mess he got himself into. (Just a foot note. Ken drives a Chevy and thinks that is the only truck there is. Russell drives a Ford and thinks that is the only truck there is. Robert drives a Dodge and thinks that is the only truck there is. There is this competitive thing between them with their different truck makers. So for one of the others to pull you out is a very humbling thing. They will try anything and everything to get them selves out before asking the other for help. And when they go places together they try to out do the other one. It is actually funny to watch. But annoying at the same time. Anyway that is the little foot note) So Robert is trying everything to get himself out of the mess he got himself into. While we are video taping and taking pictures. As we are doing so he is telling me he does not want to see this on my blog. BUT... Sorry Robert but the family needs to see this, and actually it is funny. In the end Robert hooked his winch up to our bumper and we pulled him out. Or rather he used our bumper to use his winch to pull himself out. Ya Right! :):)
But not with out a laugh or two and a great video that my battery runs out of juice in the middle of the fun. But watch it and laugh with all of us. After the fun with digging Robert out we decided to still go to the volcano and so at 9 pm that night we are hiking around a volcano rock. but in al we had a blast! Thanks for the great memories Robert!

We used to spend a lot of our Easter weekends (and other weekends) out exploring the desert also. My mom and I were just talking about Topaz Mountain just the other day and what fun times we had.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Ford, Dodge, Chevy rivalries!!! We own a Ford but I couldn't help think of the old "Fix it Or Repair it Daily" statement Chevy lovers like to quote!!! It's been a good truck! Best vehicle we've had, I'd say.
Yep our family has spent alot of fun times on the desert around Delta. Great memories
