We had the distict delight to spend this past Saturday up at Fremont Lake (which neither Kevin nor I EVER knew even existed) with our good friends Don & Mary Westhouse. We first got to know them as fellow Reformed Marriage Encounter presenters and now they are an integral part of our Moline Christian Community, serving on various commitees both in the past and present. But back to the lake, we left home and it was raining and "ucky" in Holland, however, after a brief look at the radar we decided we would probably be missing most of the rain up in Fremont. God was smiling down on us as we arrived in Fremont to overcast skies but NO RAIN! After some EXTREMELY YUMMY donuts from the bakery in Bailey, MI, we were off! It had been at least two years since Kevin or I skiied so we took a couple of gentle turns around the side of the lake and then sat back in awe as Don & Mary took us to the cleaners with their ability to slalom. (We found ourselves doing many "AAAHHH" moments that day as we enjoyed watching several very cool things Don and Mary had perfected.) After that it was PB & J time on fresh bread from the bakery again. Now it was tubing time... to the boys absolute joy! After this we witnessed the "Air Chair" in action, assisted Noah and Gideon in trying to learn to ski (Noah "got up", however, not quite standing as you will see) and Kevin & I learned to wakeboard. All in all we laughed a ton, splashed a lot and took on many ounces of Fremont lake through every orfice in our bodies and IT WAS GRREEAATT!!
Great video! Hope you had a great rest-of-your-time at Lake Cooch too. And, it was great to be able to reconnect...let's try for two in a row next year.
