50 Years

On June 20th we went to Bryan to take part in a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration for Dave's Grandparents. 50 years seems like such a long and amazing thing as I look at us who have only been married 6 years. It was a great experience to see that love does last, and the joy it can bring to so many lives. Friday we attended a nice reception where LOTS of family and friends from the area came to congratulate. It was amazing to see the people who turned out and others who couldn't but sent cards. All people whose lives had been in some way touched and blessed by Grandma & Grandpa. What a great example of LOVE they have set for those around them. Here's hoping that we have the opportunity to make 50 years too!

The following day we all gathered at Grandma & Grandpa's house for a day full of fun activities. They had a monkey bridge set up, the big swing, and a pool. Later a rented moon bounce and giant water slide arrived. There was also barrels for rolling, fun to watch, I was too scared of breaking myself to even try. Best of all was all the family. There were more cousins than I could count. The kids loved it! There was someone to play with every where they turned!
