It's a boy thing.............

While moving away from our beloved Maple Valley was difficult, we have been greatly blessed here in Lincoln. One of the benefits we discovered early on, is the fantastic group of boys Colin's age that are in our ward. Colin was ecstatic to say the least, when he found out that all of them are dirt bike enthusiasts. Last summer, he fulfilled his life long dream of owning a dirt bike when he and Dave (aided by my step father, Howard) finally selected a shiny new red Honda. (Needless to say it hasn't been shiny since). For nine years, a group of men and their sons from our ward have gone to Pyramid Lake, somewhere way out in the middle of nowhere, to enjoy several days of dirt-biking, hiking, target practice, and all other sorts of male type bonding activities. Colin, Dave and our dog Truman just returned from their second trip with the group and here are some of the pictures from their all out "Boy's only" weekend.
