Five Mile Pass

This weekend we loaded up the bike, the kid and the dogs and headed up to Five Mile Pass, west of Lehi. We spent the afternoon eating munchies by the fire, throwing the ball for the dogs, digging in the dirt and riding the motorbike up the trails.

When we got up t0 the pass it was extremely windy. I wasn't really sure that we would be able to get the fire going so I put Zack in charge of the task. Without a second of hesitation he went to work and shocked us all when he immediately got the fire going with only one match (no gas). I think he was hoping for more of a challenge because he dug a second fire pit and tried to light a second fire using only the magnify glass, without much luck.

The dogs had a blast running around playing ball and eating sagebrush. We have been wondering what kind of camping dogs Jessie and Sofie would be and this weekend we found out. Jessie is apparently terrified of the fire and wont come within 20 feet of it. Sofie can't stand to be left out of the fun. When I took off on the motorbike she chased me for a quarter of a mile before Jason finally caught her.

It was great day for riding. We did however have one bike accident which resulted in a broken front brake. Luckily it was just a big gust of wind that broke it and not me. We are excited for summer. We can't wait to go camping and four wheeling with the family!
