Trip to Hayden Lake

We spent this last week in Hayden Lake visiting my grandfather Tuk. I have been going to this same lake almost every year for the past 25 years and now I take my kids. We had alot of fun, the sun was hot and the water cool and refreshing. We enjoyed playing with cousins and relaxing in the sun.
The kids liked to get wet then covered with sand.
Lily didn't care for the water at first but enjoyed it by the third day. We went to several beaches but Coeur d' Alen is our favorite.
I sat in this same chair as a baby that Lily is sitting in to eat. I have so many memories of visits to my grandparents house. They fill me with love and happiness.
Here we are on the front porch one last time. This year was filled with many emotions as Tuk suffered a heart attack while we were visiting and passed away several days later while we were there. I am so happy to have been there to hold his hand and kiss him goodbye. I will really miss him.
