With spring just around the corner and in hopes of having lots of work this year, we loaded up Lemon Joy and headed to Moab to meet up with the Bir Family. We've been working with Mike and Melissa for seven years now and have become very good friends. As soon as we rolled into town, it was decided that a night run up The Pickle was just what we all needed to get in the weekend grove. Unfortunately, halfway to the Pickle, Mike's Jeep decided to sever a brake line so Lemon Joy had to navigate the Pickle solo that evening.
I love the angry Chinese eyes!
Yes, she thinks she's an alien. :)
Saturday was a beautiful warm day in the desert and the plan was for the girls to drive Poison Spider Mesa while Chris and Mike rode it on their mountain bikes.

The children's sand kingdom
Look at those cute desert Yorkies!
Ah....the finished kingdom. We were back on Pritchett about three weeks later and were able to still see some of this! Those kids could be structural sand engineers! :)
And that was our weekend of fun. With the exception of Mike's brake line issue, there wasn't any carnage which is always a huge blessing. The weather was fabulous, the company even better, and we were rock crawling. Life was good!
