Butte Wheeling

A week ago Sunday, Tren, Belle, Rooster, Lewis and I went for a 4 wheeler ride up to the Butte. I told Belle to get into some pants, long sleeved shirt, boots and find her jacket. She comes into my room wearing her black "party" dress, brown tights and her pink ballerina shoes. I told her to go outside and see if she feels warm in her party dress. She goes out and comes in and says "it's not cold out there mom". Trying not to let her see me smile, I finally get her to change into warm clothes. She gets some jeans on and her boots and a long sleeve shirt and her coat. She chose her skinny jeans and insisted on stretching the bottom around her boot instead of tucking them into the boot. So! We load up and head out. We arrived at the boot and unload the wheelers. We started out with Rooster running along behind us and I felt so bad for her. She did pretty good for a while, but I just couldn't take it anymore.



I put her in my coat so she would be warm. Belle rode between Tren and I so she wouldn't be right in front in the wind. I told Belle to hold on to Tren so I could keep Rooster in my coat and hold on myself. She kept losing focus and would end up reclining back on me as if this was a smooth ride down the river or something! Rooster would get all nervous before we went over a cow crossing bridge and would try to jump out, so I would have to hold her in and smush Belle into Tren so she wouldn't fall off! We stopped along the way to take a few pics... Belle cracks me up!



After this little stop, we got back on the trail and Rooster got into Tren's coat. I could finally relax a little! Belle spotted a creek and she wanted Tren to drive through it. First Tren almost bumped Belle off the back of the wheeler into the water because he didn't know she was standing up and then Rooster tried to jump out and come over to me. What a mess!



And with Lewis in the creek... please note Rooster in Tren's coat!



We headed back and Belle climbed over a fence. At first she didn't think she could, but she did a great job!



And just another of her in her skinny jeans and pink boots! Oh! I almost forgot. As we are riding, she starts wiggling around and saying "my husband is calling... oh my gosh... my husband is calling... i have to get him from work..." I wasn't sure what she was talking about, but then she got her phone out of that skinny pocket and I about died! She was on the phone with that "man" for a good 10 minutes on the way back to the truck. Such an imagination.



She fell asleep leaning back in her "lazy momma" and had a great time. She really likes to go for rides and is asking when we can go again. Maybe next time she'll wearing some boot cut jeans?
