Adventures in Marysvale

Since Brett gets his birthday off for work, we decided to take an extra couple days and make a vacation out of it. Since we happen to know a few people who actually own some bikes and trailers, we headed down to Marysvale, Utah to explore some of the Paiute Trail. It is nice to have some friends and family we can free load off of...thanks Scott, Bri, Chad, & Kristi.

We headed down Thursday morning and came back Monday afternoon. After over 150 miles of ATV riding in three days, we decided to take it easy on the fourth and took a trip into Capitol Reef National Park in a vehicle.

After taking off nearly two weeks of work, Brett now has to save up his leave for a few days when the little one comes. Next up for us is tackling our rock and weed infested yard to replace it with some good soil, trees and grass. The goal is to finish it before the baby is here. You would think that would give us enough time, but we welcome any help we can get.

Here are a few pictures to enjoy from our adventures in Marysvale.


Nearing the end of our 86-mile day trip. Good thing Dy had on her helmet so she didn't have to force a smile when her pregnant body said...ENOUGH.

Apparently a kids body says the same thing, wedgie and all. It is amazing the kids assume this position for hours at a time. It can't be that comfortable.


Here is a picture of Scott, Bri, and fam. There really were some great trails down there that led to some lakes, wildlife, dense forest, and waterfalls like this one at Boullion Falls.

Relaxing at the camp after a day of riding. Notice Brett's beard is begining to actually look like a beard.

Proof that we visited Capitol Reef National Park.
