Jeeping

Yesterday, we decided to go jeeping even though it was snowing. We went up Mantua canyon and had a blast. On the way up a hill RB tried to get the jeep in 4W low. He couldn't get it in and we started to go backwards. So he did the cool turn thing up against the mountain to turn us around the right way. It scared me because i wasn't ready for it. He goes, "It's okay," and then we begin sliding toward the edge of the mountain. He stops right before the edge and says, "Get the kids out." Not something you want to hear right after being told things are fine.


This is Lil and I watching RB get the jeep unstuck. She did not want to be put down.


MJ was so worried about RB in the jeep. She thought for sure it was going to go down the side. I told her over and over again, daddy had it under control.


After some more sliding off the side (there was a little edge way before the drop) RB is finally able to reverse without spinning the wheels. He maneuvers the jeep out and facing the correct way again. Here are the tracks he made while doing it.

We did not get in again immediately because every time he tried to go toward the mountain side he would slide toward the edge. He finally got it away from the edge and we slowly made our way down the mountain.

RB was so happy after jeeping. He loves getting stuck and trying to get out again. Something about his youth and memory lane or something. It was really fun. My feet froze, but it was fun!


Lil was just beet after watching RB get the jeep unstuck.


At home again warming up by the heater and relaxing.


It was good to get out of the house and do something, even if it was the first snow storm of the year . Lil is excited to go again but MJ is still a little worried. Glad to have our jeep back anyways.
