Family Michigan Trip

In early June almost all of the family on my mom's side headed to Decatur, Michigan for a long weekend on Keeler Lake. We had such a fantastic time! Lots of fishing and paddle boating/boarding and hanging out playing cards.

It worked out great that it was a free fishing weekend in Michigan so we all could fish without getting licenses! The boys especially loved it because you would literally drop your line in and catch a fish. Now, they were a touch on the small side but the kids didn't mind!






Grandpa with his first catch.






Hard to see the fish but I'm pretty sure one is there somewhere :)




Mom and Uncle Denny out for a sunset cruise on the paddle boat and Justin fishing.


















Selfie from their adventure.




Morning fishing. It was so peaceful!






I think this was one of the baby catfish that they kept catching.





Ike and Josh with their huge catches. It was so funny how small these fish were!






Lance and Kathy helped the kids get their lines unstuck from the lily pads multiple times.





Uncle Denny giving Dave some pointers on how to use the paddle board.






Pro level.





Ike was not quite pro level.
















He started floating further away so we told him to jump off and swim the board back. Well of course the tie around his ankle came off so Lauren had to go swim after it!








He did snag the paddle at least.





Justin and the boys playing Yardzee.















The kids had the most fun playing on this swim mat that came with the house. They spent hours running around on it and falling off. The best was when Gil jumped on it because he totally threw their balance off! Here's a video of Gil first trying it out, so funny!






Ike sprinting across it.








Love this picture!



















Ike was in constant motion and also spent the whole weekend without a shirt. He was trying to set a world record, ha!






Dusty and Lauren.



The whole crew.





Playing cards after the kids went to bed!














What a fun trip with lots of great memories! We so appreciate grandpa for coming up with the idea and funding it! Can't wait to do something similar soon.
