We started the day with a leisurely breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes, and of course more socializing. After breakfast, we headed over to the lake, to John and Eileen's cabin.
We spent a lot of time visiting with John, who is not well enough to come to the reunion, so we brought the reunion to him.
The loudest sounds came from the swimmers when they hit the cold lake water, but they had a good time. Alma and Rosalee fished off the dock. Richard took out a kayak, including Erica and Grace, who wanted a ride. Just when we reached the other side of the lake, we saw and heard the crack of lightning, so we paddled right back.
We concluded our visit to the lake with a tribute/sharing session with John. We went around the room, and people talked about how much John meant to them in their lives, and shared some anecdotes. By the end of our visit, the regularly scheduled afternoon rainstorm had arrived, bringing more water than usual.
Dinner was spaghetti, corn, and salad, prepared by Deb and Brent, a delicious meal. We agreed to leave the campground at 10 AM the following day to drive to Mesa Verde.
