Fathers Day Weekend

We spent the weekend as a little family of five and making our way to Granite Creek.  Its just past Wendover, which has a Hydro Electric Plant and a trailer is parked right next to it (on blocks).
Its real fancy.  Actually its quite nice inside.  In March Ryan took the boys out there with his Dad and Brother.  My BIL spent most of the time really cleaning it up, thanks Bret!  I think its a 1960 model, so its got the awesome upholstery.

The Plant is pretty cool to see too.  It has a diversion (where the pipeline begins) up the mountain.  Because of all the snow this year and rainfall the Creek was running really high and fast with a lot of debris in it.  So Ryan had to clean it out.  There is a Rancher that takes care of it, so she showed up after he worked on it for an hour and finished it up.  Here's what it looked like before and after. Before he cleaned it out the water wasn't even going to the pipe.
The boys had fun 4 wheeling, using the outdoor bathroom facilities and just playing in the dirt and down by the nearby pond.  Ryan bought some pans for panning gold.  So the boys took a crack at it. Ryan and I couldn't believe how green it was out there.  Lots of flowers had bloomed and tons of green grass out in the desert.
We couldn't keep Harrison and Lucas away from the 4 wheeler long enough.  It was torture for them to eat some of the time.  We had to hide the key when it was time to quit for the night.
Peter did just fine sleeping and eating like he does at home.  He does love to be outdoors with all of us.  This last collage is just of some of the fun we had.
We were worn out when we got home, but did have a good time.
