Summer Recap #1 - 50th Anniversary in S.D.
We left for our trip to South Dakota as soon as school ended. Actually we traveled on the last day of school. Our family along with all my brothers and sisters' families got together at my parents' home to help celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. There were 41 of us! (Four were missing as they are serving missions for our church.) We had a great time being all together. The 50th anniversary open house turned out very nice. We are very blessed to have such wonderful parents. They are a great example to all of us and we love them very much!
My siblings and I gave our parents a tribute book. The book was filled with pictures representing their 50 years together and also included a letter from each of their seven children. In addition, we gave them a framed picture with their wedding picture and each of their children's wedding pictures. We gave these to our parents the night before the open house. (We had a hunch Mom might get a little emotional!)

This is a nice review of your summer activities with family, and we are so happy we shared these memories with you and your family. We appreciate all that was done to make our 50th anniversary so nice, and it was great having our family together. The tribute book and photos are treasures.
