4 wheels on the 4th

This year for the 4th of July we headed for the hills. We usually stick around town and do the whole tradition of parades, and parks, and fireworks. But since we haven't had much of a chance to go camping this year we decided that we'd take the kids and join the rest of the Jones clan at our favorite spot, Cold Springs in the fish lake national forest.

We had so much fun, we rode 4-wheelers and fished and just hung out with our family. Trent and Easton caught a few fish and they thought that was the coolest thing. I had forgotten how much I LOVE our camp spot.

On the 4th we all packed up our coolers and 4-wheelers and made a day ride, by the time we got back to camp we had gone 70 miles. Talk about sore bum's, The boys were troopers and loved the whole thing. Sister rode on the razr with Papa and Gloria and was so happy to sit on Gloria's lap.

We had to cross several streams along the way and one of the times we took advantage of the cool water to wash off a little of the dust. We first started by just splashing through the river on the 4-wheelers, then one of the kids rolled up their pants and was wading in the water, little by little the clothes became more and more wet. By the end my boys were swimming in there unders and even a few of us adults were enjoying the water. It was so much fun to see the kids playing and I think the memory of the long 4-wheeler ride when we swam in the river will stick with them for a long time to come.
