G&G Damstra Visit: Day 4 Willard Peak

On day four the boys were given their Nerf guns.

And we loaded up for Brigham City. The boys insisted they bring their guns with them to show Uncle Hunter. He is the Nerf gun king.

Getting ready for a ATV ride up to Willard Peak. It's the boys' first legit ride. (They have ridden around the campsite or cul-de-sac before, but not on an actual trail.)

The boys thought the helmets were pretty cool. (Bennett grey, Cooper red)



They were beside themselves with excitement. Almost the whole way up the mountain Cooper would check to make sure G&G were following us. They also liked to bonk their helmets together like battering rams. It was pretty funny.

A GORGEOUS detour we took on our way up. 360* view of nature.



The detour also allowed us to put more layers on before we hit the snow line.

There was about five ATVs blocking the road and we were confused until someone pointed down the mountain a little ways. There was a moose!

Continuing on.

I love love love this trail and all the gorgeous leaves.

At the top of Willard Peak we stopped to stretch our legs. Of course the boys found the rocks and started throwing them down the mountain.

Cooper loved his helmet so much he didn't want to take it off when we got out at the top.

Cooper was pretty proud of this rock. He even tried to climb down the edge a little bit to get it. But Jason stopped him and grabbed it for him. It was a little too steep to be safe for Cooper.

Our original plan was to eat lunch at the top, but it was much too cold. So we just took in the view and then headed back down a little ways until it got warmer.


Soaking in more beauty on our way down the mountain.

Back at G&G Webre's house we played some croquet and ate a BBQ dinner.

Tessa had hit her breaking point since she didn't want to nap that day. When I told her to stop picking her nose, she broke into tears while still stubbornly keeping her finger in her nose. It was hilarious. Especially when Jason started bouncing his leg and her finger bobbed up and down in her nose. I was cracking up.

Sunday was a low-key morning of getting our last minute playing in before I had to take Dad and Imy to the airport. And then they were off. It was a very fun-filled and exhausting four days. But we loved their visit!
