So on our last day at the cabin our friends took off early in the morning and we decided that we would take the kids on one last four wheeler ride before we headed home. The picture at the top is up the mountain a ways we stopped for Baylee to pee. If you notice in the background of the picture a slight rain cloud, well it wasn't so slight a hour later. We continued up the mountain to our favorite trail when it started to rain and boy did it come fast. Then the lightening started and it was coming right for us. We tried to head the opposite way which was further from our cabin because we were out of options. The second picture is of us all nestled in a grove of trees trying to bunker down during the rain and lightening storm. Let's just say it was beyond scary, miles and miles from the cabin and not sure how long the storm would last we decided to say a prayer with the kids. The girls were crying and I was beyond panicked. I think we sat for about a half hour when we saw a small opening in the storm and decided to bee line it down the mountain. It was still raining and with all that rain made lots and lots of MUD!!! On our way down we passed several trucks and trailers that were sliding off the mountain and one was even jack knifed. Warren decide to send me and Connor along with the girls back to safety and he stayed with Carson to pull the truck off the edge. I was never so glad to be back from a four wheeler ride as I was of this one. The last pics are of us and the bikes and the Mud! I know my kids will never forget this experience and I hope most of all that they learned that our prayer was answered that day, we made it back home safe.
