50th Anniversary

We had a great weekend up in Evanston, WY celebrating Randy's parents 50th wedding anniversary. We left Thursday after Randy got home from work and drove to Evanston. We got in about 1:00am. On Friday Randy went golfing with his dad and brothers. The rest of us went to play at the park and visited. When the guys got back, we had a BBQ. On Saturday morning Randy's mom took the wives out for a great breakfast. It was nice and relaxing to sit and visit. After breakfast we went to the park and had lunch. All the kids had a great time playing baseball and being with each other. It's nice that even though we don't get to see each other that often, when we do the kids get along great!
After the park, the kids all ran through the sprinklers to cool off from the hot day at the park. I loved the weather. It was in the mid 80's. When we left Las Vegas on Thursday it was 112. After we got the kids cleaned up, we went to the restaurant for the big celebration. After a great dinner, each families kids did a talent for the program. Ashley, Travis, Courtney and Jared all sang, "I'm Trying to be Like Jesus" and then Travis played "Eagle Summit March" on his trumpet. They did great! Then we watched a video presentation of Ralph & Penny. It turned out really nice. Thanks Shawn for all the time you put into that. After the program, they cut the cake that Kristen made. It is a duplicate of their wedding cake. It turned out so nice. We then went back to the house and talked for a few hours reminiscing about the last 50 years. It was a GREAT time.

That sounds like such a nice trip. Especially the part about the mid eighties.:) glad you had fun.

It sounds like a great trip. I am just impressed that you drove all the way to Evanston in one night. I think the wedding cake is such a sweet idea. I want to file that one away in my mind for a future party.
