Do you see these big, bright smiles???
THIS was what we gave Riley and Kierra for Christmas!!! A day up at Daniel's Summit riding snowmobiles!!! :) :) :)
I told Kierra a while ago that I knew what I wanted to give Riley for Christmas...when I told her about the idea of a snowmobile ride, she said, "Mom!!! If you give that to Riley you will be the best mother-in-law ever!!! Riley has never ridden snowmobiles but has ALWAYS wanted to!!!"
So that made it easy for me! I planned it, reserved it, and on the day after Christmas, (which was also the day before they had to head back to Colorado) we went for our ride!!!
I was SO happy that there was enough snow because we haven't hardly had ANY snow this year, and just the week before, they had to turn people away because there wasn't enough snow. I prayed for it, and was so grateful that it came! :)
We arrived at Daniel's Summit a little before 2, and got dressed up warm and headed out! It was Me, Clint, Kierra, Riley, Tiffany, Colby, and Maicen that went...
We drove the 30 mile loop half way, played in the open field where we had to turn around, and then drove the rest of the loop back. We stopped at the summit for pictures together...it was beautiful and sunny.
The perfect day for a ride!
And although it was a trail that we had to stay on and follow, I still think Riley had the time of his life! :) He said that his favorite part of the week home was this fun day out riding!
I was so glad that he enjoyed himself!
Now at least he can say he's been, but next time we will have to find a place where we can ride off trail and go exploring...THAT would be FUN!!!
The lucky people who rode on the back got a lot more bumpy of a ride, ;) but I know they still enjoyed being out there...(I was one of those lucky riders too. ;) ...
Until, I kicked Clint off the front and took over driving for myself! THAT was when I got to go REALLY FAST!!! THAT was FUN!!!
This sweet man of mine is my favorite person in the whole wide world and I have so much fun doing things with him no matter WHAT it is that we do! I LOVE that he enjoys so much being with me, pampering me, spoiling me, and basically letting me get what I want...;) That may sound a little bratty of me, and I don't mean for it to...it's just the plain truth! This sweet boy LIVES for making me happy and goes right along with whatever crazy thing I may have up my sleeve...including snowmobile rides on the day after Christmas!!! :)
It also made my heart so happy to see Kierra and Riley doing so well together being married! I know that they were meant for each other and that they are more in love today than they were the day they got married...which is the way it should be!!! And their relationship will only keep growing and getting stronger because of their commitment to each other and to the Lord. They can see their path very clearly and they know EXACTLY what they want, and how to get it. I will continue to stand back and watch them learn and grow together and be their biggest cheerleader and their biggest fan! :)
After we finished up our snowmobile ride, we headed back to the lodge where we went to their restaurant and had a nice little dinner cozied up by the fireplace. I truly enjoyed the day that we spent together. Our last day of their Christmas week here will also be one that I will never forget!
Thanks you two for your happy and generous spirits that you share with us! You are a JOY to me and our family, and it was such a sweet gift to have you here for the week! I can't wait to see where the rest of life continues to take you...hopefully it will be as fun (and not so bumpy;) as our snowmobile ride!!!
Whatever it may be...HOLD ON TO EACH OTHER AND ENJOY THE RIDE!!!
I love you both!
It was a VERY Merry Christmas!!! ;)
