Evening of Elegance

Merril and I went to the Evening of Elegance for search and rescue. I bought this dress a few months ago but haven't had an opportunity to wear it anywhere. Merril wore his search and rescue American flag tie.  

Maxine picked up this red suit from a member's house. I kind of love it. 💗

Boys Lake Powell Trip

  Shawn Nelson invited the boys to a few days out on his houseboat at Lake Powell. They were supposed to go during the summer but the houseboat became unavailable. This time in September popped up. The water was still nice in the Fall. Mark got to drive the houseboat. He said it was his favorite part.

Jack's favorite part was tubing.

Merril kept sunscreen on them and they had a great time!

Riding Motos

  I have a motorcycle license but let's be honest, I don't ride a motorcycle very often. I decided to go with Merril and Juliet and Mark. Merril purchased a new motorcycle, a Suzuki DR 200. It's supposed to be more chill for me and Juliet.  It's a nice little motorcycle. Juliet and I are liking it.

While riding, a storm rolled in. We packed up and got out of there before it got us. It was a nice little afternoon. *My hair looks goofy in this picture because the wind was blowing so hard. 😂

 

Mom's Offroad Recovery Again

Jack was hooning around in the hills by our house and was probably going too fast. In doing so, he got all sideways and high-centered. He needed my help getting free. It took a few tries and I had to come back with a different strap but we got him loose. 

I should start charging him. Maybe he wouldn't get stuck as often. Doubtful. I'm glad he wasn't hurt. Then the next week he ran a motorcycle out of gas. He called to see if I could bring him some. Luckily, there was some in the garage. I got the gas to him and he rode home. Silly kid. 😉

Richfield Mountain Bike Race

We are on our way to the Richfield mountain bike race!

Juliet, Jack and Merril left to preride the course. Juliet doesn't like how red her face gets after exercise so I took this picture but she'd only let me keep it if it was black and white. It was so hot!

The next day was race day! I volunteered early in the day and had to sneak out of the hotel room. I came back around 9:30 a.m. and they were all in bed together. 😆

Jack rode at 12:55 p.m. and it was hot! He did 2 laps in about 52 minutes.

Grandma and Gramps were there because Beau and Evan Campbell also ride for the Cedar Valley team. They get to see two sets of grandkids.

Jack's looking happy!

Juliet rode at 2:06 p.m. and she was supposed to ride 2 laps. The race officials started pulling kids off the track after 1 lap because of the heat. It was high 90s. 

When we were done, I was so hot and sweaty that I wanted to cool off any way possible. We found a field with the sprinklers going and ran through the sprinklers for a minute. I thought it was lovely!

I drank so much water and gatorade but still feel dehydrated. It was super dusty and my lungs feel gunky. We booked it home for showers and sleeping in our own beds. 😅 

Peach Days 2022

 I love Peach Days! It's one of my favorite things about our little town. Merril arranged for his band, Black Sabbatical, to play. It was super hot but it was still fun. 

I worked security so that I could score an awesome Peach Days shirt. 😎 It says Committee Member, which I feel like is maybe a stretch, but I'll take it.

Do you know that old ladies touch things way more than little children? It's true.
