Grandma and Grandpa Great thought it would be fun to celebrate with a Pool Party at Karla and Kelly's house. They love watching their great-grandchildren enjoying the sunshine and the water.
It was great to sit in the shade and chat while the kids played. I always enjoy spending time with Grandma Great, Grandpa Great, and Aunt Betty. It was neat to see so many of the family together. Jared and Noah were able to come down from Logan and Melanie was able to join us too!
We had a delicious lunch! Everyone brought pot luck items so we had quite the selection of yummy food. Elizabeth and Zachary looked so cute sitting at the miniature picnic table!
Zachary's LOVED all of the yummy candies and cookies!
After lunch, the kids continued playing on the swing set, and with all of the water toys. They sure are gonna sleep good tonight!
Tyler was so brave and tried the slide. He even went down by himself a couple of times!
Aunt Melanie brought Trinadee, Samantha and Matthew's sweet little girl. She is so darling. We had such fun passing her around so that everyone could snuggle her!
We presented Grandma and Grandpa Great with an heirloom edition of The Book of Mormon. It is leather-bound, embossed, and has a place for them to record their family history inside.
I loved when Zachary came out of the house wearing his cape and mask. He was welding his sword and fighting off all of the bad guys. He has such a great time chasing Noah all over the yard. Noah was such a good sport for playing along. He would play dead when Zachary would stab him and would run in terror as Zachary chased him. So much fun! Zachary had a huge smile on his face the entire time!
What a fun day. I am so glad that we could gather together to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa Great! What an amazing accomplishment! 60 years is incredible. I am so grateful for their example in my life!
