.you have a friend in Filmore.

Grandma and Grandpa Beardshall had a great idea to go down to Filmore, Ut for a fun family weekend together. Some of the family is from there so they thought it would be a good experience to go down there. Who knew you could have so much in Filmore. Steve and I left after work on Friday and met everyone at a 50's diner and car hop for dinner. Most everyone went down earlier in the day. We ate there and hung out. When we got back to the hotel we took Chuck on a walk with Spencer and Jennie and their dog Max. By the time we got back we were all so tierd we called it a night.
The next day we went 4 Wheeling all day long, we all had a good time, even Aunt Elaine who ended up crashing her's!!!! The rest of the day was spent shopping, eating and hanging out. That night we went and got sandwiches and took them to the park. There we hung out and played a little of everything; soccer, football, and volleyball.
The next morning we all got up and ready and headed to church. That poor ward had to actually open their overflow for us. I think we had 26 people total! Thanks Grandpa and Grandpa Beardshall for the great idea of going down there. Thanks Grandma B for being the party planner and organizing this trip!
Takin' a break. I think that my behind is asleep in this picture. We had to take a break to streach our legs
Matt and Chris make this look easy
This is Dezi and her cute friend Mckenley. I am pretty sure that I spelled both of those wrong! These girls did a great job. The thing that I thought was so cute is that they kept looking back to make sure Team Amy was doing okay
Wendy really did have a good time! Ha, I think that Steve caught her off guard with this picture
Chris and Jordyn hangin' loose. I think the only time I saw Chris and Jordyn is when I was eating their dust! Chris was haulin' but he said that it was all Jordyns fault since she kept saying to go faster. Sure Chris, blame it all on Jordyn!
Roger and Carter. I think at one point Roger had to have Carter get off and walk since he was afraid that they would tip. No wonder we didnt know where they were!
Steve and I sporting our hat hair! I think it will be the "in" thing now
Taking a break
If you can imagine Carter making motor cycle noises right now, since that is exactly what he is doing. What is it with boys and sound effects?
Steve, Roger, Uncle Rob and "little" Amy
Steve riding David's bike
David riding Steve's bike. Same story with David, when he was on his bike I think I saw him about once because I was eating his dust as well! He is a crazy kid. Uncle Rob kept telling him to slow down and that he didn't want to scrap his body off the road!
Lunch break, all this 4 Wheeling made us all hungry
"little" Amy posing for the camera
This is poor Aunt Elaine's arm. The story behind this is quite funny looking back. She went out with the second group in the afternoon. Everything was going good until Aunt Elaine rolled the "un rollable" 4 Wheeler. (A side note is that the lady that Grandma B rented all the 4 Wheelers from said that "you can't roll these things, that would be a first")From what I got she was on a hill and started to roll back, and instead of putting it in first gear and going it rolled back and caught a bump in the road and pinned poor Aunt Elaine againt a tree. Some of us were in the hotel lobby talking when David ran in saying that she had been in an accident and that her arm looked really werid! We were all really worried until we found out that she was feeling okay and that she wanted to wait to get it looked at a day later if it still looked bad. Luckily it looked a lot better the next day (when the picture was taken). Steve said that Elaine was a trooper. He said that all he saw was a 4 wheeler pinned against a tree with Elaine's legs up in the air. All he could hear her saying is that "I'm okay, I'm okay!" What a story. At least it is something that we can all laugh at now that she is okay. I am probably going to get this wrong (Roger correct me if I am) but this house was built by Roger's great grandfather, which would mean that it was Steve's great great grandfather. It has since been turned into a bed and breakfast. Grandma and Grandpa B got all the "kids" a room there. Grandma and Grandpa stayed with the rest of us at the Hotel.

This is a group shot taken after church. Of course Steve and I are not in our sunday clothes becasue Steve can't stay in them for more than 5 minutes! We had a great weekend in Filmore, who knew!
This is Steve, Joanne and Roger doing their best impression of the picture below.
This is a picture of a picture. Steve's parents have this hanging in their house. The family gave the bed and breakfast a copy to keep there. This is the family. I will get the details of who exactly everyone in this picture is later. The gentelman is the great great grandfather and his family.
This is the family doing their best impression. From left Steve and Melanie Poulsen, Grandma and Grandpa Beardshall, Roger and Joanne and Elaine and Rob Beardshall. I think that Uncle Steve wins the best face prize, his is the most like the picture above
Another angle of the group
Steve's cousin Spencer and his dog Max
TEAM AMY!!!! We had a great time riding the 4 Wheeler the day before!

Wow, what a fun weekend. Where did you get all the 4 wheelers? I've never seen so many all together in one place. Great job Amy!
