Spring Pump Track and Cousin Time

We have the good fortune of being friends with an amazing family:  Kirk, Becky, Audrie and Claire Earl.  Jason and Kirk used to work together, bonded over bikes, and we've been friends ever since.  Jason covets Kirk's totally sweet pump track endlessly, and the Earls are generous enough to host our family for an occasional hot dog roast and pump track ride.  We love them!

Here's everyone getting warmed up.

Jason and Kirk enjoy the Karate Monkey.

Harper and Audrie on the trampoline.

This is the stunning view from their backyard.  And here are the kids crossing the railroad tracks over to the swamp for an adventure.

Audrie!

Cache Valley in the spring is about as good as it gets anywhere, I'm pretty sure.

Wheeeee!

This is the kids when they were still dry.  And clean.

This is where they got into trouble.

This is Gabrielle after she pulled Owen's shoe from the muck.

This is Bennett protecting his precious Vans.

And here are some cuties.

Owen's rescued shoe.

Jacob's socks.

He was pretty disgusted.  And cold.

Alexandra on the pump track.

Becky, Claire and marshmallowy Audrie.

Yummy.

Oh, Finn.  You are too cute.

A little bit of heaven.

The yard was littered with bikes!

Bennett's night ride.

I love these photos!

Jason takes a run.

I think I forgot to mention that Gabrielle and Alexandra were staying with us for the weekend.  Bennett's dream of hanging out with his cousins came true.  We love these girls!
