Ninilchik Over the Years- Video

As I went back through our 2025 adventures and slowly made movies for our family to enjoy, I kept skipping over a couple of places, one of which was Ninilchik. Making a video from just the videos of our trip to the beach that year didn’t feel like it captured what Ninilchik meant to us. Since we’ve been coming here since our kids were young, the memories run deep. After completing videos for most of our adventures in 2025, I decided to work on a video spanning the years and incorporating the many memories and all the ways we have enjoyed and experienced Ninilchik. While there are many beautiful memories, a streak of sadness is also felt when looking back. Gone are the days when the Lemans commercial fished as their family did for five generations. Ninilchik also brings the reminder of our time there with Woodsen’s mom, Cyndi, who passed in 2024, and the huge loss that was to both our families.

Here’s the video I put together that captures our time over the years enjoying the Ninilchik beach with the Leman family.
