60th Birthday Party Bash


It took over 6 months to plan, lots of travel time, and some serious fan-angling - but we did it!  The entire family was together for the first time in 5 years!  We did it to celebrate Mom and Dad's 60th birthdays.  
Saturday, July 14th all of the adults met together first for family pictures, and then to enjoy a yummy lunch at the Greenery (one of Mom's favorites).  We got into trouble more than once for talking too much.  :)  It was awesome to be all together.  And lunch was fantastic!

We got to meet for the first time Lacey's new husband.  He is sooo tall and very nice.  They look very happy.  Congrats!

Then we went to Park City.  We did some quick shopping, and then headed to the condo.  We stayed in the Presidential Suite, and it was big enough for lots and lots of bodies!  The grandkids were so excited to get to be together.  It was so cute!  We had dinner at the condo.

The rowdy crowd!  Brent, Crystal, and Rachel
 We then went swimming, played games, relaxed, hot-tubbed, and talked and talked.

The kids had a sleepover...all in one room!

 On Sunday, we woke up to a great pancake breakfast, and then got ready for church.  Unfortunately, my research was faulty and there was not a ward at 11...so we ended up taking pictures of the kids.

 We can't wait to see the end result!  We then headed to a park to beat the rain for our picnic, and then went to Crystal's for more games. 

It was a great weekend!  I hope that Mom and Dad enjoyed it all.  We needed one more night for our jammed-packed weekend...maybe next time.
