Spring Break 2012

For Spring Break this year we really didn't have anything planned since our vacation will come later this year but we did decide to go four-wheeling one day.  We went out to the Knolls because it is so much fun for the kids to ride around and not have to worry about them getting lost since it's very wide open especially on the dried lake bed.  But to our surprise we found this "monument" or whatever you want to call it that we TOTALLY missed the last time we were there.  It looks like it's been there for a long time so I was wondering, "How could we possibly have not seen this last time we were here," but then I started looking around and things really tend to blend into the horizon line and I couldn't see the things that we saw last time we were there.  It's amazing how it works on your eyes.

Last time we never saw this sign until we got to the fence line warning us of the military bombing zone!  This was long before the fence line so we turned back instead of going that far again.

Here's the "monument".  It looks like a missile but Curt thinks it's a fuel tank from a jet painted all funky.  Then the wooden sign.  It's has things nailed, hung glued and whatever else to it.  Some of the things were really funny...especially to our kids like the giant pair of underwear and a bra!

Yes, that's a wheelchair at the top of the missile.

This is the wooden sign.  Right behind Shelby's head is the pair of underwear!  It was a lot of fun!  Carson also learned a very important lesson about following too close when he went over a bump and caught some serious air but thankfully landed but then if that wasn't enough he later ran into the back of Kaylee's four-wheeler because he was didn't want anybody to cut in front of him!  After that (and getting "sternly talked to" he eased up but we will have to see if it took effect next time we go out.
