Fishing, Four wheeling and some time away

Joe had Thursday and Friday off, so we did what we always do and we went to our lake property. The kids spent a lot of the time riding their four-wheelers. These first pictures are from a couple of weeks ago, Joe dug out a tree stump and then let the boys ride through the hole. They were are little timid at first, but they caught on really quickly. He has since filled in the hole, but made another hole in a different area, next to a few piles of dirt that the kids like to ride over. (Actually, Joe put the piles of dirt there so he could jump over them on his four wheeler, and he has more fun doing that than the boys do riding over it).

Ellie is getting really good at riding her four-wheeler too.

This weekend, we had a couple of visitors. Sara and Nathan came up and Sara loved to ride around with Ellie. It was a perfect fit since Ellie liked to do the driving.

Joe recently bought this contraption. He calls it a mini-bike. It is pretty funny to see him ride it around.

He also bought the boys a little motorcycle, but only Adam has figured out how to ride it. I haven't taken pictures of him on it yet. (I keep reminding Joe that he is spoiling the boys, but I think it falls on deaf ears).

Here is a picture from a couple of months ago, but it is classic to how they often look... all lined up and riding together.
Saturday morning, we went out to Lake Conroe to go fishing. We didn't want to get up early, so we got up at our regular time and went out. It was really windy and choppy and COLD. Luckily, we brought blankets so we could all wrap up and get warm. We didn't catch anything, but Adam did learn to drive the boat and did fabulous at it.

We did get some relaxing in, but we also got some BIG projects done that I am going to post about separately.
