Super Sabbath!

Hey!

Did ya have a good weekend? We had a very good Sabbath!

Some friends that we knew, barely, from college in Texas live in the area. We ran into them a year ago and talked, and that was about it. Well their children come to Adventurers and Pathfinders our church - the closest to where they live that has those programs.

Well, we've kind of gotten reaquainted. It's been cool!

They invited us over to their house for lunch after church today. They live on 125 acres that a group of their family, collectively, owns. They've got 2 acres planted to strawberries. They've got another 4 acres planted in blueberries. They're planting 3,000 peach trees this spring. They've got 10 acres fenced off for horses. It is very nice!!!

They have all sorts of 'toys' they play with and work with on this property. We got to 'play' with a few of them today.

Check these out!



This is a 1986 Army Surplus HumVee they own. It's a 'Commanders' vehicle set up.










We all piled in for a ride and a tour of the whole property.











They're hangin' on cuz we did a bit of four wheeling around the property. I tell ya, not much can stop those vehicles.










Our friend let me take 'command' control of this unit. Oh yeah! I took it through a couple of areas that some 4wd's couldn't have made it through. Man that was awesome! (Can't you tell by the grin on my face - oh yeah!)









Of course my eldest focused in on the horses. After she'd visited them for quite a while and moved on to something else, she kept asking to go back to them!









They also had a little 50cc atv and the kids had a ball riding it. Joelle did great!











Natalie, had fun but had a challenge getting the idea to 'feather' the throttle. I sort of rode along with her and just about got thrown off twice! :)










They also had a Model T, rebuilt with including the original engine in the awesome barn they had. Didn't get a pic of that, but they had this WWII Jeep they'd rebuilt. They actually have the .50 caliber machine gun that goes on the mount. Arghhh, arghhhh, arggghhhhhh! Had to sit in it for a minute!

What a great day!
