Our "ski" weekend

Since we didnt end up going to Vegas, our plans were to go skiing (ie. sliding down the side of a mountain on our butt) on Saturday instead. We had been having perfect weather all week, but of course, just as we were walking out the door on Saturday morning, we learned that the lifts were closed due to high wind conditions. So we scrapped the ski day altogether. Being that my parents had taken the kids though, we couldn’t let the weekend go to waste. So instead, we went quad riding.

We thought it’d be fun if we stopped by a friends house to see if he and his girlfriend wanted to come along. On the way there we drove past a high school and the billboard caught my attention. Apparently some teenagers were up to no good the night before and had pulled a little prank. While the wording bordered on being a little bit vulgar for the general public, it was still pretty funny. Lucky for us we had just bought a new camera and had it with us.

Afterward, the 4 of us took the 2 quads and the motorcycle out for a few hours. Lisa and I took off on the quads for a while on our own. Alex, however, didn’t feel completely comfortable with her knowledge of quad riding, so he followed us on the bike. It seemed like she wanted to go faster than me, so I let her lead the way. It was then that I went from quad riding to bumper cars :o) Lisa was tearin it up so I didn't expect her to stop. By the time I realized she was coming to a complete stop, it was too late. I used the brakes but not in time enough for me to prevent rear ending her. Luckily, it wasn't a hard hit though and both of us were ok. There was only very minor front end bumper plastic damage. It was more of a "ding" than a full-on rear ending :o) At least thats how I explained it to Jake....
