Fun on the Land Begins

We are so very blessed!! When we made the decision to move to the country it was with the understanding that we would utilize the land by buying some 'toys'. We had no sooner made the decision to buy our land than we fell across an ad in the paper for two snowmobiles. We were only thinking of buying one at this time, as they would be very expensive.

This ad seemed remarkable! They were asking for less than half the cost of one new one, for two models that had less than 100 miles on each machine!! A friend offered to drive over with Ray to check them out and see what he thought. This guy is a pro and we knew he wouldn't steer us wrong. After a visit to see them Ray and our friend were very pleased. It was a remarkable deal. They had barely been used and were in mint condition. God is good! We ended up with one for Ray to use and one for me and the smaller kids. Both good machines, but according to our friend, "Justine will need velcro to stay on the bigger sled!" LOL!!

Watching Daddy bring in the snowmobiles.



A few days later, Ray decided to head out to the land to clear the driveway of snow. He neeed to be able to let the hydro man in. Ray took Cooper along and Coop had a blast!

We don't want to use the sleds on the land yet, because there are stumps everywhere. But we do understand that the rancher that owns the land next door lets people on his land. We will contact him and see if he will let us on. That is a huge piece of hilly ranch land!

Okay, so here I'm wanting to pay to ride a snowmobile, at least - just once while I live here, and YOU own TWO OF THEM! HA! When can I come and play with you? :))

Next winter we will be in the house. Right now we have had an incredible thaw and have NO snow!! Also, we have terrible stumps everywhere, so we have to make an arrangement with the rancher next door to use his cleared ranch land, or clear and cut our trails on own land (which we will do by next year). So this year they are just sitting pretty. :o)

I would LOVE you to come and stay with us next winter (Jan/Feb)!!! You know it!!!!!!
