It's All Fun & Games Until Someone Gets Hurt

When CJ put his hand in the air I knew the race was on. As soon as his arm dropped we sped across a field as fast as we could. The next thing I knew I was lying on my back wondering what the heck just happened. Come to find out, the ski of my snowmobile hit a wheel of something that was buried in the snow. Luckily I hit the wheel with just one ski and not head on or I probably would have killed myself. (Well, not really, but I would have had a few bruises.) Putting his scout skills to the test, CJ tied the ski back on and we rode back to the cabin.We loaded that sled into the trailer and got out the spare we brought. After riding for about three hours CJ offered to trade me so I could ride a more comfortable, faster snowmobile. I was perfectly content on our little Phazer, but we traded anyway. I headed off down the trail, but soon noticed we wasn't right behind me. I stopped to trade back (his goes way too fast for me). When he got to me he said that he had no idea how I had ridden for so long because there was no steering.

After checking things out and finding there was a missing bolt, we towed the Phazer out, about 30 miles, and took it to the nearest Yamaha dealer. Because of the busy weekend they didn't have time to fix it so we rented one for the next couple of days.

Darn our bad luck! Two snowmobiles down on the first day of our trip!

In spite of the trouble we had the first day, we had such a great time in Island Park. Our Group -- Ryan, Jordy, Mandi, Lee, Sherri, Eli, CJ, Kim, Craig, and Brady

We couldn't have asked for better conditions. The days were beautiful and we got new snow every night!This is one of my favorite spots -- Big Springs -- It reminds me of one of the Three Little Pigs' houses.

Brady -- Just Chillin' (Yes! That definitely is where Brady should park!)

Craig -- Ready to Ride

Eli & Sherri -- Lovin' it up!

I really don't think this post needs a lot of explanation. It's just the way we move our furniture from the upstairs family room to the downstairs family room.
