My aunt and uncle used some of the memorial money from my cousin Connor to put in a kayak launch at a lake nearby their home. Their hope is to have a memorial gathering each year at this spot. The launch wasn't scheduled to be completed until spring, but they rented out the pavilion area at the state park anyway, and had a beautiful day for gathering. To everyone's amazement, because of the nice weather, the kayak launch and dock ended up being installed that day--pretty amazing timing. My brother flew in from Texas and came down with us, and it was so nice to have the day with family.

Extra time at Mara and Bryan's that night was a bonus, and Greg's Oculus was a fun distraction:
Dave was deer hunting over the weekend, so unfortunately had to miss out on going to Iowa. He also unfortunately had to go to the hospital due to heart issues (he ended up being okay), but I was thankful Greg was around to take advantage of the nice weather and hang Christmas lights:
