Our Trip to Michigan






Here is 5 of the 6 grandkids.
Next is Nicole, Tradd and Cooper on the alligator swimming in the lake. The weather was a little rainy and a bit cold but the kids did manage to do some swimming. The next picture is a shot off the dock from the cabin and the pontoon boat we got to enjoy rides on. Here is Poppy and Drayton. Nicole and Coleman were best buddies. In the canoe is Meghan, Nicole, Tradd and Cooper. They went to pick up the ski that David kicked off so he could ski solo, the boys took the opportunity to fish.





















Nicole and Brandon got to experience many firsts, while in Michigan. They got to go tubing, many thanks to David (Meghan's brother). They loved it!!! They also got to kayak. Brandon liked this but Nicole will "NEVER" do that again. Not a favorite of hers.

















Brandon purchased a fly fishing rod and got some great pointers from Rob (Meghan's brother). Rob took Dad and Brandon out jitter bugging one night and they really enjoyed themselves. No not the dance, this is a fishing term.








Here is a shot of the fishermen (Dad, Brandon and Walt) on the pontoon boat. Walt (Meghan's father) was great about taking the guys out fishing and giving us nice rides on the boat.










It wasn't easy getting front shots of Tradd. He spent most of his time on the dock fishing, and it payed off. He caught many blue gills but did catch a 18 inch bass from the dock. He was so proud and cousin Brandon was happy to help him land it. I can't even imagine how many containers of bait they went through but they had a great time. In this picture is Brandon and Tradd fishing.











Here is Scott rowing Nana around in the row boat. Mom is really happy in water as long as she is dry!












Beautiful sunset over North Lake.













Another shot of the sunset. It was as peaceful as it looks, too.













Enjoy the videos of the kids tubing!!!
