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.

Haley and Lindsay meet Katie the horse.

Joel saddles up for a trail ride.

City slicker Sheldon shows off his equestrian skills.

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.

Lindsay and Haley get ready to climb the rock wall.

Haley and Joel climb the rock wall together.

Having made it to the top of the rock wall, Joel takes
the zip line down first.

Wheeeeeeee!

Lindsay takes her turn on the zip line.

The gang poses for one final picture before saying
goodbye...until the next get-together.
