Snow on the mountain.

Sorry if this becomes a duplicate.  I blogged this last night and hasn't posted so I'm trying again. 

Our 4-wheeler adventure was exciting and a little scary at the same time.  I drove up with Emily behind me and Evan on the way down.  I have driven an ATV around a yard or down a gravel road but never up a rocky mountain path.  We started at an elevation of about 6400 and ended at 10,000 ft.  A lot of white knuckles.  There were 4 4-wheelers carrying 13 people.  This picture shows a spot where we stopped to play in the snow.  Hard to believe that it can be 100 degrees and see snow. 
The heat is taking a toll on us.  A couple people have thrown up, including poor Emily.   Just too much jostling down the mountain in the stifling heat.  She quickly recovered.   A lot of water drinking and sunscreen going on.
Today has been quiet.  5 people went home today.  My brother Greg and his wife Vanessa came only for the weekend and Sam's dad Joe and his wife Jen left after being here for about a week.  We took the opportunity to clean and regroup.  Although when I say we, I don't include the guys who are working hard building a shed and other farm work.  They leave in the morning and return at supper really dirty and hot. 
I think we have an excursion planned for tomorrow so I'll fill you in then.
Having a great time.
