Huntington Lake, 4-wheeler Ride, and the Castle Valley Pageant

My niece Kelsey had her 2nd birthday party at Huntington Lake last Sunday. The kids all had so much fun swimming and playing in the mud. Yes...we missed church (dang it!), but we had a blast.

Kade loved playing in the mud (and throwing it at everyone).

Tyce LOVED the water. He could have played in it all day
Yesterday we decided to go on a 4-wheeler ride with Jasa and Jared. The boys wanted to ride up Gentry Mountain to look for deer so we headed up at 6:00pm. I didn't have a babysitter for Tyce so I threw him on the 4-wheeler with us. Well, about 1/2 hour into the ride it started looking really cloudy. We just kept on riding and it got worse and worse. We didn't know if it would be smart to wait it out...or keep riding. Well, needless to say.....we all got soaked. Tyce's first 4-wheeler ride wasn't that pleasant, but he was a good sport.

Here is a video of me riding in the flag ceremony for the Castle Valley Pageant. This was my 13th year riding in the pageant and I am sad that it is already over. I love racing my horse down that hill into the pond. It is kind of a rush! I hope that you enjoy the video....it is only of me, not of the entire ceremony. There are 6 riders (Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, and the American Flag...in this video I think I am carrying the Navy). ENJOY: (you might want to mute my tunes)
