Monte Cristo

Tad loves to ride the snowmobiles in the driveway.  After mine and Fred's hunting trips, we decided we should take Tad out at least once this year.   He absolutely loved it!  And he is constantly talking about  the "no-mils" and pretending his toy chairs are snowmobiles.   He tells us to cover our ears while he starts them.   It's hilarious.    

Getting ready to go.

Bundled up and ready to go.  He's going to hate this picture when he's older. 

Dad and Tad- they rode together most of the time.  I like to ride fast, Fred just likes to putter along, so it worked out perfect!

I took advantage of riding alone and stopped to take a few pictures.

Tad rode with me for a little bit so Fred could play on some hills. 

He's the perfect size for riding with-  he can duck below the shield so he stays warmer, but he's big enough to hold on.  I thought we'd have to keep him on by squeezing him with our knees, nope, he's the perfect little riding buddy (except when he accidently hit the red emergency stop button).

I love his smug little look. 

We tried to get him to push the gas and move a little so he knew what it felt like.  All he'd do is push the handle a little, then throw himself into "hold-on" position.  :} 

Climbing the snow hills as Daddy loaded the trailer. 

It was a perfect day out.  Not too cold, the machines worked great, loaded easily.  Snow was good, a little deep in someplaces- like this fence that I decided we needed a family picture by.  You can see how deep it was on Fred's pants- kind of a challenge to set the camera timer and "run".
