Labor Day- Quadding

We decided we needed to do something fun as a family for Labor day so we went quadding! We LOVE our quads (4-wheelers). We bought them about 4-5 years ago and have had a great time with them!!
Our day started out well enough, the drive was good, weather was good, no tickets for Kelly (long story...). We got all the quads unloaded and it looked like a good day.
Just to back up a little. We have some awesome friends that let us not only store our quads on there property, they also let us drive on the acreage behind there house. We NEVER have a problem when we are riding at the house. However when we drive 25 minutes away it never fail one of them has a problem. Today was no different. We had one quad that would not start so our mechanic (Kelly) worked on it while me and Mekenzie went for a ride. When I got back me and Kellen decided to stay back while the rest of them went off for a while. Me and Kellen had a good time, we took random pictures, ate a whole bunch of cantaloupe, (me and Kellens favorite food right now), and watched other people. They came back, I rode for a while then it was Kellen, Kelly, and Mekenzie. Me and Camden were hanging out in the car, we checked out the dirt bikes (he really wants one!), we sat on the table talking....it seemed like a long time. We were getting a little worried as it had been quite a while since we had seen or heard the others (we could see the trail from where we were, we would see the helmets drive by every couple of minutes). Imagine my concern when I see Mekenzie come back without anyone following her. She explains that she went through a mud puddle (mud lake) and Kellen followed, only he got stuck and his quad died. She had been sent to get the tow ropes. I almost sent one of the nice gentlemen next to us to help but decided Kelly would have told Mekenzie he needed more help if he thought he did. A few minutes later they finally returned, them and the quads covered in mud!!! Between the mud, and the now broken quad we decided to call it a day!
We came home muddy and tired but had a great day! Kelly - who is the greatest - even fixed the quad!
