This is the last post about Lake City- I promise! There are a few more adventures that I just had to share, then we will get back on track with Molly's adventures (not that she has too many, but there have been a few). The Gentrys have a tradition of visiting the Lake City Soda/ice cream shop daily. They have great flavors and generous servings. Here is a picture of Burke getting some of Kirst's scoop. He loved it!
We had a fish fry on Thursday night with all the fish everyone caught. We had it outdoors in the wonderful weather. Here are some shots of the snacking and kid watching.
Ana was super excited that her fish (with the head still attached) was being grilled. Adam was very patient and amused by all the status updates that were required!
Here is an action shot of me, Bennett, and Ana rolling down the hill in front of our cabins. The grass is so incredibly soft there! We had lots of fun, you can tell. Boy- did I get dizzy!
On Friday afternoon, four of us went up a mountain to see what we could see. We visited a mine's gift shop (the tour would have taken too much time- but it is on the to-do list for next time) and stopped to see a few bridges. Here we are posing against the beautiful scenery.
Saturday morning arrived and it was time to bid farewell to friends and Lake City. So naturally we took lots of pictures! Here are all the Gentrys, the Cairns, and the Smiths. What special company- friends for so long and growing relationships too.
Next up: lifelong friends Jennie and Aaron and now spouses too!
Aaron makes light of most situations and this was no exception. Here we are being silly, in between the tears of renewed friendships and goodbyes.
Mark summed up this vacation so accurately with the word
bittersweet. So many new and different things. So many memories recalled. Lots of laughter, lots of tears. This was a vacation never to be forgotten. Thank you to everyone who make this trip memorable and a special thanks to Mark and Evette for making it happen.
