In Sunday’s video we shared the arrival of our college friends Tyler, Karla, and toddler Charleston. You might recognize this crew from a camping trip in the desert we took last year. Tyler, who we have jokingly been referring to as Riley's "stunt double" is giving us a hand with the improvements to our road this summer.
Riley and Tyler met in the campus offroad club and bonded over their shared interests in engineering, mountain biking, rock crawling, and driving as many different vehicles and machinery as possible. We'll be sharing plenty of footage in upcoming videos of the boys working with our new Hitachi excavator, the rented Cat 330 excavator and rock hammer, and of course the D8 and the Army Truck.
Courtney and Karla are the two who thought up the scheme for Tyler to work with Riley and for the family to come up and stay on the property in their red ski resort shuttle-turned-camper. In an earlier scheme in their college days, the girls decided to attend a gathering of the aforementioned offroad club--at this gathering Courtney met Riley, Karla met Tyler, and the rest is history!
Charleston enjoys playing in the Idaho dirt and keeping her eye on baby Oliver.
We are so thankful for their help this summer. Things look a little different with Courtney on Mom Duty and Tyler has stepped up to keep Riley in check... just kidding there's lots of chaos coming your way in videos soon!
