This was the first time at the lake since Mike passed so everyone came up and we had such a nice week. He wanted some of his ashes spread in the lake so we planned an evening to get together, share memories, stories, and dedicate a wind chime to the lake in his honor.
Even though we all felt his absence we had a great time that week laughing, swimming, eating good food and just being together. Little did our family know that was the last time we would spend out there as the Mike Ellersick group. Things have really changed over a few years that's for sure.
Uncle Paul and Paige. (he looks like Mike in this one)
Swimming
Cousin time is the best.
Games
Everyone came out to celebrate Mike's dedication and we had a nice time sitting around visiting and being able to see everyone.
Last cousin ice cream picture.
The girls liked this wood wall so they stopped for a photo op. ;)
Spreading the ashes.
Loves for grandma.
Beautiful sunset.
Through the tube he went just like teaching his kids and grandkids how to dive. :)
Then this guy landed and flew around for a bit so all the kids were saying it was grandpa. It was pretty neat the timing of it and he stayed for a while.
This cutie just makes things better. :)
Sunbathing beauties.
Dance party
Aunt Wendy rented paddle boards for the day and the kids had a BALL!!!
Grandma always has the fun craft box.
Peyton turned 7 and Wendy made the cutest minion cake.
Brian and Ashley brought out their boat for the day so we could do tube rides. It was a perfect day on the water!
