~Father/Son Outing~

Dave needed to blow some steam, so he decided to take his best buddy and head to Moab for the weekend. Dave and Hunter had a blast! Infact, Hunter did not want to come home, lol. I think it is great that they spent this Father/Son time together, just the 2 of them.
They rode 4 wheelers, hiked, and rode 4 wheelers some more. This was the first time Hunter really rode a 4 wheeler without someone sitting behind him, or just driving short distances. He LOVED it!!!
Hunter's favorite ride was in the wash, as Dave calls it. He LOVED riding in the sand!The first day there, Dave took Hunter to explore this tunnel in the mountain. As they walked in, heading for the other end, Hunter got a little nervous because he could hear something behind him. Dave informed him that it was probably just bats. I don't know if that made Hunter feel any better, lol. That evening Hunter made Dave go and buy a flashlight at the store, so they could go exploring in the offshoots of the tunnel.

Hunter tearing it up!!! He tries to keep up with Dave. It is cute to watch him stand up like Dave while driving, he tries to go as fast as Dave, and he tries to make all the same moves as his Dad. Which as you see might not be a good thing, lol.
Luckily he rolled in the sand, so he wasn't hurt at all.Hunter got used to going fast on steep sand hills, and didn't realize that if you are going slow on those hills you will just tumble down.

Hunter liked exploring the caves so much that on one of their rides, he noticed this cave up in the middle of the mountain. He and Dave hiked up the cliff, and explored the cave. I guess this is what boys do without mom's supervision.
At the top of the cliff, in the mouth of the cave.
And you can tell they ate really well, this is what they had for dinner, lol. I hope they will go on many more "boys trips" together. Both Hunter and Dave had a blast!

Looks like Dave and Hunter had a great time! Mallory wonders if they got a stomach ache from all the junk food they ate? So glad you boys got away for a few days! I hope the girls at home went shopping or something fun!
