We have been going out and getting river rock for part of our landscaping in our front yard. We got the permit December 1st and had 3 months before it expired. Here is some pics when we enlisted the help of our neighbor boy(and Justin's best buddy) back in December ...........
We weren't able to go in January due to snow and such but went out again this past Tues . Knowing that it was our last run before our permit was up, we planned on making 2 trips. We loaded the biggest heaviest load yet...................and look where that got us..........
Luckily for us Chad has a buddy who just lives up the road from the wash. He was gone but his wife came to try and help....no luck! So we waited for her 16 year old son to get home from school and bring their tractor down. In the mean time Chad unloaded half the rocks. The tractor got us out in 2 tries (should have left all the rock).

COMPLETELY STUCK!!!!

Luckily for us (#2) they are care taking a house where the wash runs right through their property and told us we could come get it anytime....So tomorrow it is!
And Luckily for us (#3) it was a beautiful day....T-shirt weather(Just thought I would throw that in for my MT family!)
This actually has been a great family activity and outing.....Here are my kids waiting for Daddy to get back with help...........

Yup you were stuck good. That stinks--but I'm glad you had a fun "family time."
P.S. Your yard is looking so good.
I am glad that CHad know someone near you. You guys where in there good. I will have to come by and see your yard.
good update and thanks for rubbing in the weather:{..the kids are adorable:}miss you
Wow, you were really stuck, so thankful for friends who have big trucks huh!! Bt the way, your little dresser turned out so great.
This totally reminded me of our family experiences of getting wood however; yours looked more fun! I didn't know that you had to get a permit to get rocks. I guess I learned something new today. Can't wait to see you in April. Love you.
Love your Blog !!!!!
Love, Gma E.
