Hibernate and Floor it

We spent the weekend in the snow!  We were in the middle of no where surrounded by snow, trees and Malones.  It was wonderful!!  The traditional question on the way home from every vacation is "what was your favorite part?"  This time we agreed it was when the four of us went on a quad ride.  I was nervous and Shep advised me to "hibernate and floor it."  I was confronted with a hairpin turn filled with mud and snow.  I floored it.  Meda and I got a little tipsy and off we went, face first in the snow!!  No worse for the wear, Meda wanted to get right back on.

I think this is what Shep meant by "hibernate."  Getting stuck in the snow happened a few times.  The men folk tried to conceal their delight in having to figure out how to free the beasts, but the smirk always gave them away.



Katie, Elsie, Meda & Shep couldn't get enough ridin' time.

Making smores (always know- if vacationing with Anney there will be no lack of treats!!)


Shep Loved his snow gloves so much he wore them home.  They are his wolverine gloves because they have sharp sparkling claws on them which unknown to Shep are actually rhinestones on Hannah Montana gloves.
