We've recently started mountain biking and have been lucky enough to find some mountain bikes here and there for the whole family over the past couple of months. We're now completely outfitted and took our first bike trip as a family this past weekend. Andy and Kristi invited us on their trip to St. George to ride Gooseberry Mesa and we took them up on it. Robin was kind enough to let us stay at her place and we were so excited to get out of town for a few days. Andy, Kristi, Josh and a couple of Kristi's family members were the only ones that actually rode the whole Gooseberry Mesa trail and Josh couldn't stop talking about how much he loved it! It looked incredible from the pictures they took and I'm so glad he got to do that with them! The rest of us met them at the end and there are some smaller trails and trainers there that we rode on for the rest of the day. Since all of us are beginners it was the perfect way to ease into it. My dad came with us and brought his e-bike along which was awesome and perfect for him to ride. He did great! The weather was so nice and warm and the perfect day to be out on our bikes. We spent the morning riding bikes and had lunch together before we packed up and headed back to the house.
Later that afternoon we went to the river to try and skim board with everyone. It ended up being really high with lots of run-off so we just swam and made mud castles which was super fun too!
The rest of the weekend was spent playing games, visiting mom and dad at the trailer park, eating good food, watching movies and just hanging out. We took a trip to the bike park before we left which was fun for the kids to get used to the hills and different terrain. We had such a fun weekend and the perfect getaway for this early spring!
