Fahlen Family Fun

We spent a great, two days with the Fahlen family near Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jon will have two of their sons on his golf team this fall. Their eldest has been on the team for the past three years. They live on a lake and invited us to come up.

We went on the boat and the kids all went tubing, including Emmi! Jon enjoyed the Sea-Doo and gave all the kids turns on it with him. Later the boys went fishing off the pontoon boat and we went out for ice cream. The kids loved the beach and spent most of the morning jumping off of the deck or digging in the sand or trying out the paddleboat together. Of course, Dawson had to take a collection of snail shells home.

Thanks, Fahlen's for a great time! Emmi now loves all boys between the ages of 15 and 22, especially ones in swimming trunks! :) (She went right up to a lifeguard at Taylor Lake and teased him like she would have one of the Fahlen boys that weekend!)

Braden, Calvin & Dawson ready to tube...

Emmi and Jon on the left. Yes, Emmi is smiling!
You can't hear it, but Braden is screaming the entire time! Shrieks of joy...

Jon was WAY too comfortable on this Sea-Doo!

Even Emmi ventured on it with Daddy. He went so fast, I couldn't ever get a moving picture!

Dawson running and jumping off the end of the dock...

Calvin without a hint of caution...

Braden is all about the perfect look...
