A Weekend at the Dude Ranch

It certainly was no five-star Trump condo hotel, but the dude ranch in Lake Wales, Florida (about 80 minutes from Orlando), provided the perfect setting for a small family get-together of the Greenes.

From the Miami area there was Joel Greene, president of Condo Hotel Center, his wife Jackie, and their twin 8-year-old girls Haley and Lindsay.

From Orlando there was Susan Greene, Joel's sister and Condo Hotel Center's marketing director; Susan's husband Jim Murphy, and their two children Ryan, 15, and Katelyn, 8.

Finally, from North Miami Beach, there was Sheldon Greene, Joel's and Susan's father and also the CEO of Condo Hotel Center.

Here are pictures from some of the weekend's highlights.

The whole motley crew ready for action and fun.

After horseback riding, it was time for a quick tennis game.

The gang piled into a couple of canoes and kayaks for a spin around the lake.

The build-a-boat contest was a blast. Each team received two large pieces of cardboard, a roll of duct tape and 45 minutes to design the craft. Here we are carrying our boat to the lake for the big race.

After several heats, this was the final race between the three finalists. Our team, The Dudes, won the boat race. Woo-hoo!

The Dudes stand proud in front of their winning vessel.

The kids loved fishing in the lake. Here Haley throws back the first fish she's ever caught.

Katelyn shows off the exceptional living quarters. This was definitely no Ritz-Carlton!

The kids hold up some of their finds after the Easter egg hunt.

Wheeeeeeee!
