"Ride 'til we can't no more"

 And we almost got to that point! In early October, we decided to finally bite the bullet and get a 4 wheeler We have been wanting one for quite some time now, but the search was definitely an arduous one. With COVID hijacking the year, it seems everyone in the Pacific Northwest was on the hunt for a 4 wheeler. We finally lucked out with a shiny 2020 machine. It was immediately thrown into the deep end on several hunting adventures, as well as a really fun ride up the back side of Bogus Basin. There are several trails that branch off of the main trail on this ride, and we got up one that was definitely NOT where we wanted to be. This trail had a major rut and was too steep on the side to safely maneuver. We initially thought we would just straddle the rut and continue on up the road, but it was quickly clear that that was not going to work in our favor. I ended up getting off the 4 wheeler to let Matt slowly shimmy back down and out. Close call for sure!

Happy Haunting!

Halloween was such a hoot this year! The softball team got together for a really fun party that included food, games, competitions, and so many laughs! It was really fun to see them bonding off the field. 

We also did our own pumpkin carving (the kids did their own!) and then had a really good time trick or treating. While there wasn't the usual big crowds of people, there were still lots of families participating.....mostly via the sit in the driveway with a firepit option, which is personally my favorite way of doing it. The kids had a great time and the weather was amazing!  Here's a completely random selection of it all!
