~Yost~

Today our family went on a little 4 wheeling ride out to Yost. Dave has gone out there since he was little, so it was fun to take our kids up there (we even took Marley). The kids had fun riding four wheelers, playing with sticks and rocks, seeing deer and cows and rabbits, and Lexi especially had fun playing in the dirt.

It really is a small world, because you almost never see any people up here (except for during the hunts) and as we were starting up the trail we passed 2 people on dirt bikes. One of those people ended up being one of Dave's mission companions, Kevin Murdock. What are the chances, we are out in the middle of nowhere and run into an old mission companion. I guess his family was up there camping for the weekend. It was fun for Dave to catch up with him.

As Dave and Kevin were shooting the bowl, Hunter and Mckell started climbing the mountain. Hunter stepped on something that made a loud squeak. He thought it was a rat and came running over to us, then out hopped a baby rabbit. Hunter had stepped on its back and broken it's two back legs :( Poor thing. The kids thought he was so cute and Mckell insisted that she could fix his legs if we took him home with us. She was soo upset that we wouldn't let her.

Marley ran along the four wheelers the whole time and by the end was so exhausted that he laid right in the middle of a mud puddle:)

Marley had some scary moments with the cows. He chased a baby cow and then had adult cows chasing him and mooing at him, it made me really nervous. He and Hunter also had fun chasing after a deer (we saw 6 or 7), but they weren't even close to catching it :)
