It was fun while it lasted. 2009 came with a bang!! This was our second time in a row that we rode our quads down at the sand dunes in Yuma at the start of the year. We spent New Years Eve at a ice skating arena chaperoning the Young Men and Young Women from our two wards. We had rented out the whole skating arena. It was alot of fun and played games afterwards at Louisa's house till the fireworks began. We got to bed about 1:30 a.m. and had to get up at 4:30 a.m. to drive 4 hours to get to the dunes. We had a great day riding the sand dunes with our friends in the ward, the Horne's. At night they had a warm bonfire going and watched a fun little video. We rented a room in town which was nice to get a shower and bed down to a nice soft bed. Which is always welcome after playing in the sand all day. The weather conditions were perfect this year and the crowd at the dunes was minimal compared to years past. We got up and ate a continental breakfast at the Fairfield in Yuma where we were staying. They had the greatest breakfast, waffles, eggs, fruit etc. and all included in the price of the hotel. We will definitely make that our destination spot next time. We got back out to the dunes by 9 a.m. and were out on our quads by 10:00. Kenzie and I were riding in the Horne's sandrail which was totally a kick in the pants. Rick was on his motorcycle with his paddle tires on for better traction. We were having such a great time

Never in my wildest dreams..
shopping at the Dunes!!! Looks like a great time, except for the mishap. Hope Rick's feeling better, if he starts acting up, just slip him another pill.
