The Galt family came down after they had been 4 wheeling all weekend. They went North of Bancroft and drove 318 k. The weather was perfect. They took their two youngest.
The big attraction that weekend was the new ATV, other than Marcel of course.
Everyone who came had to go for a spin. Didn't take Peter long.
Herman was a good sport and let me take him for a spin..he wasn't too impressed. Not sure what he's telling Immy here. lol
Immy had no problems. She is very adventurous.
Erin showing off her new helmet they bought her for the big ATV weekend.
She just loves it.
Kelly-Lynn and Grandpa deciding where to go.
They decided the back 40. So on with the helmets. Finally. Marcel also decided that we really should get helmets and insurance.
We got one helmet from Peter, so now one for me yet.
Brenda getting instructions how to drive. She's 16 but does not have her driving license...yet.
Once Brenda got the hang of it, we actually had to summon her to come back. She loved it and took KL over all the bumps on the lawn.
Teresa's turn. She also decided to check out the back 40. She's a pro after their great trip. She never wants to be a passenger again.
Marcel and I went for another ride in the back after everyone left. Took the snips and cut all the branches down that were in the paths. I drove, while Marcel worked. A great arrangement.
I had to sneak in these gorgeous blue morning glories.
Frank, Ann, Ken and Carla also came down for Marcel's birthday.
Frank looks a little boos here...not sure what he's getting himself into. Notice how the helmet is getting getting a little closer to Marcel's head. The black box Marcel put on the front is to carry the chainsaw and gasoline when he starts to cut wood in the back 40.
Foot rest for the passenger also were make.
Carla trying out the seat, but did not go for a spin.
Ann getting ready for a wild ride.
This picture says is all.
John & Sonya Bontius' beautiful girls. Chocolate bar sales.
Looks like a fabulous birthday! I laughed so hard at that picture of Auntie Ann - looks like she was enjoying herself!
ReplyDeleteWe're laughing too! Such adventurous parents I have!!
ReplyDeleteEn natuurlijk nog de hartelijke felicitaties van ons viertjes!
ReplyDeleteZo te zien moet het een geweldig weekend geweest zijn.
Liefs,
Hennie, Ans
Puck en Jeroen
LOL I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know when the bike is road ready and we'll go for a trail ride.
You are absolutely correct I will NEVER be a passenger again. Special thanks goes out to Doug's dad and Phil Potts for letting us borrow the bikes for the weekend. Come spring time I hope we will have our own bikes to ride :) Oh wait, may still have to borrow a bike, will have a licensed 16 year old that will want to tag along.
Hi, Alida and Marcel,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the pictures you took on Saturday afternoon. Specially with the hilarious take of Ann and no sign of Marcel as driver of the 4-wheeler. From that distance Ann's picture is really special.
Thank you for showing them to us, also of the other members of your clan.
Have you any notion how soon or when you might be coming out to or through the GTA (Greater Toronto Area)? Please let us know before you come.
With our thanks for a memorable afternoon last Saturday. Ann & Frank
Happy Birthday Marcel! Alida these pictures are great! The face expressions on the ATV are priceless! I'm glad everyone had such a great day. Love Janice & Paul
