Michigan

I am pretty sure this is from Dad's hunting trip in Michigan.

I don't remember to much from that trip which is surprising for a vacation.

The only clear memory I have of it is playing bumper pool in the recreation room.

I do not remember taking these pictures at all but it looks like we were having fun playing with Mr. Green Jeans.

Work

Here we see Chad and Brett working hard washing the green station wagon.

They must be doing a pretty good job too because you can see their reflection in the side of the car.

Chores around the house were always worth it.

If you worked hard and finished your chores you were allowed to eat supper.

Looks like Chad worked extra hard because he is eating his favorite (just look at his face!).


Chad's shirt says it all "Mmm Mmm Good!

Dane

This is me, Jan and Brett in 1983.

Jan Hanson, pronounced Yen Hinson, was from Denmark.

He lived with a family by the name of Graphman that went to school with us but they didn't have many (or any?) boys so Jan hung out with us a lot.

He kicked for the football team and we lived close to the school and we got along well with him.

I still remember the most difficult word to say in Danish, by Jan's estimation. Ouit Couit Laflour. He said it was some kind of strawberry desert. I figured it was a bad word because he always laughed when we tried to say it.

It was fun to get to know someone from another country and Jan opened up the door for a Dutchman who lived with us my senior year but thats another story for another slide.
