Lagoon, Family Reunion, and 26.2

on our way to The family reunion we met some of the family at Lagoon. We spent the day there and had a good time.

This is at the family reunion, a view from our tent back towards the gazebo and fire pit and volleyball area.

This is our home for a few days, it was so nice there in the trees.

after the marathon we went back up to the family reunion in morgan and got in the river, Ellyce wanted me to push her on her tube.

Here I am walking over to help Ellyce out of the water.

Mckenna playing in the river.

Mendy and I in the river after the marathon. It was so cold, but felt so good.

Here I am after the marathon walking up and down the street with Ellyce. You can see a float in the back ground. I finished in 4 hours and 38 min. according to thier timing, but according to my timing I did it in 4 hours and 33 min. What an amazing experience, we met some really neat people.

Here I am running in to the finish with my kids. Carolyn was there at the finish line taking pictures and cheering me on. How great is that?

Here is Mendy and I just outside the car after the run, I can't believe we really did it. She finished in 6 hours 1 min.

The finish line. there were several times I thought it would never come. what a welcome sight.

Here ELlyce and I are walking again.

50 years of fun

We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniverdary on the 26th of June. Thier actual anniversary was on the 24th. We started by going to the Temple as a family on Friday night. Then on Saturday we had a formal family dinner with Prime Rib and all the fixings. At seven we had an open house for the community. there was a big turn out and I think that Mom and Dad were very pleased. Here is David and I and Mendy and Merrit putting the plates together for hte dinner. Sam did an awesome job with the meal.

We displayed a few of Mom's quilts and crocheting and sewing and scrapbooks. We also displayed some of Dad's fishing gear and Barbershop stuff. Here is a picture of the tables. Mendy and David did the flowers and pictures and the table decor.

This was the book and entrance.

Michelle and Juli made the cake. It was beautiful.

And we had to have a 50 made of jello.

It was a great day of celebrating and I think that Mom and Dad really enjoyed themselves. The Barbershop group came and sang to them as well.
