Celebrating Grandpa Wayne

We gathered with family on July 14 to remember John's Grandpa Wayne in Blue Earth Minnesota.  The day came more quickly than expected, but Wayne had a lot of peace and a great life of 87 years.  The sunshine through the rain is that we got to see lots of family - especially Scott and Jess (who now live in South Carolina) and Jenny from North Carolina (her husband Mike stayed back in NC).  We got to celebrate Wayne's life and some time together.
At the funeral home, the cousins all loved playing with our kids.  Of course, our kids LOVED it...we love those big cousins to play with!!  The boys drew pictures for everyone, and Eden used the furniture as a jungle-gym.


After the service on Sunday, we drove back to Stillwater to enjoy a day at the pool before everyone had to go home.  It was the perfect day for a swim!

The kids were just a LITTLE excited to see everyone and to swim!!!





The boys wasted no time getting Uncle Scott into a game of backyard baseball.



Benny really loves his Uncle Scott.


So much fun!

We wish the circumstances had been different, but we LOVED seeing everyone and spending great time together!  Love you, Eiselt Fam!
