On the way back from Luke's tourney in Grand Rapids (see previous post) we stopped in Howell to celebrate Ben's Dad, who passed 25 years to that date. Ben and Megs worked so hard to make sure the day was full of memories and fun!
We started the day by meeting in their old neighborhood.
We then headed over to the park in Howell. We swam at the beach, hung out for the day, and had a BBQ for dinner!
Afterwards, we went over to the cemetery (right at the same lake) where we had Dad's favorite dessert-hot fudge brownie ice cream sundae!
Ben actually packed up our TV and DVD player and we watched a special video that Ben had made the family. It was full of pictures and video clips of their family growing up. So, so special.
To end the night, we had a " candle lighting" where we listened to Dad's favorite songs.
I never had the chance to meet Dad Morin but I know someday our kids and I will! Until then, he has left a beautiful legacy for me to love.
Such a lovely day!
