6 Cousins Taking the Plunge

A family reunion in Reed City, Michigan. As hot as it was today, (84F, 27C), I figured that the boys would all go swimming. They did. I tried the orchestrated jump two different ways.

This shot was first. A 1-2-3 GO! The problem? The little guy was left behind, and the faster kids hit the water well before the others. I then tried to get them to hold hands before plunging, but that didn't work much better.

Our gracious host, Cousin Billy, is watching in the background.

Billy is a hunter...a big time hunter. In the living room of his big log home...are 13 mounted deer heads, 2 elk, 4 bears, 1 turkey, 1 black wolf, a bobcat, a caribou, a badger, and a fox.

He is also a farmer and a horseman. Soooo...you can thank me for posting the jumping boys instead of a picture of Billy and his daughter "plucking" a chicken.
