Fishing and 4 Wheeling

On a recent Sunday afternoon we were invited to the Carter home for an afternoon and evening of fun in the country.  We love anything outdoors so this was a perfect outing for us. Our hosts, Stan and Sheila, came down to serve on a volunteer team with us this past term.  One thing we love about the volunteers who come to work with us, is that most come as strangers but leave as lifelong friends.  We have such great bonds with people who have only served with us for one week on the mission field.  I love how the Lord does that.  

We began the afternoon with fishing.  The boys love to fish but have not had an opportunity to do it yet since we've been home.

When they were done fishing, we took a break to eat supper.   Stan grilled some delicious burgers.
 
Next, we loaded up on 4 wheelers and side by sides and hit the trails around their property. 

We all really enjoyed this part of our visit.

The Carter's neighbors have two boys that joined us that day.  I didn't get photos of them fishing with us, but we sure enjoyed their company throughout the whole visit.

Their dog, Rowdy, ran along side us the whole time. 


 
 


 
 
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset while out riding. 






 
We ended our visit with homemade ice cream, blueberry cobbler, and cake.  It really was a "sweet" way to end our time together.  The whole outing was fantastic!!  It is definitely a memory our family will not soon forget.
