Laura's and my 30th wedding anniversary is coming up soon. The kids have made a big deal out of this for us for the past six months. We also wanted to make a big deal out of this celebration in a get together with our children. We have Dan & Mary L. to thank for the generous use of their up north place. I hope we left it in good shape for them.
While we were not able to get all the kids there at the same time, they all managed to be there at some time during our week.
Early in the week, Nathanael, Caleb, Faith, and I got in 27 holes of golf (only 9 holes for Faith). In our first trip, Nathanael's GPS guided us right to a house tucked off the road and into the woods. Recalibrating.... Oh, THERE'S the golf course, only four miles north. (I still prefer paper maps.)
On a blistery 90+ degree day, Nathanael, Caleb, Peter, and I trekked to the Rifle River to float on innertubes for a few hours.
Nathanael and Caleb bugged out, and Andrew & Vanessa and Philip showed up. Later, Caleb returned with Caitlin, giving us most of the family for the weekend. A few trips to the beach, a lot of reading, video games for the kids, and some card games (but we need more euchre players in the family!) rounded out the weekend.
The kids also presented us with their final anniversary gift--the large novelty check for $30.30. They gave us that amount through Venmo, but I wonder if the giant check cost more than $30.30.
Some photos from the week.
