Grandma and Grandpa's 50th Wedding Celebration

We spent last Tuesday to Sunday in Minnesota at a lake cabin celebrating Grandpa and Grandma Hayes' 50th Wedding Anniversary. Instead of having a huge party they decided to have a quiet and relaxing  week/weekend with just their immediate family. This included their 4 children, 14 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and their children/grandchildren's spouses. Here are some pictures from our vacation...

Grandma and Addy had matching shirts

Olue, Addy's cousin, was squinting from the bright sun.

Roger caught the biggest walleye of the week..... at 23 inches. He was fishing off the dock!

Addy and Olue having playtime on the floor

Grandpa feeding Addy some nummy nanners

Addy and Olue were playing on the table with Christine and Stacie

Addy's first time in the lake. She didn't know what to think about it at first because the water was cooler than the swimming pool she was just in. She ended up having a lot of fun.

Grandma and Grandpa Loegering gave Addy her birthday present two months early in hopes that she could use it now.

It is a baby/toddler swing.

Jared and Jake decided to try it out.

Addy and Olue were having fun playing on Josh.

My first walleye! It measured 20 inches, too big to keep :-(.

Grandpa netting Jake's walleye. We had a lot of fun fishing with Grandpa and listening to stories about him and Grandma.

Jake's walleye that also measured 20 inches.

Addy with Auntie Katie drinking watered down apple juice. Even after it was all gone she would not give up the sippy cup.....she was trying to lick off the remains.

Addy and Johnny in the pool.

Roger, Jake, Josh and Jared preparing to go snorkeling

Josh, Jake and Roger having fun with Johnny, Addy and Olue on the floor.

Grandpa going a little crazy with Addy

Wheeee....

Addy following Johnny around as they were babbling to each other.


Addy and Johnny

Johnny and Addy trying to "break" into the wine cooler. I was warned by Roger to control myself around the wine cooler.....I think they were having more problems with that than me!

Grandma and Grandpa got a photo book of the first 50 years of marriage from the family. Sue and Kristina made it, it was really neat.

Bean bag tournament

Starting with the youngest child on up, they got to pick which adult they wanted on their team. It was a lot of fun. Josh and Kristina won the tournament.

Jake and I went snorkeling.......it was neat to watch things swim around and to move really fast with the flippers. We would like to go scuba diving together sometime.

The Loegering Family

Thomas was making Addy laugh so hard, I wish I would have gotten a video.

Johnny liked wearing Shaylee's slippers around....even though they were way too big.

Cauliflower that we picked when we got home Sunday night. Kristina helped us blanch it all that night, it would not have fit in the fridge.

Addy with the cauliflower (size comparison)

We brought Kristina back with us to spend a week at our house. We were sad to leave everyone after the long time of being together, but we are happy she could come to stay. We have already (sadly) put her to work picking veggies, blanching, baking and weeding. Today will be a fun day........her and I are going shopping for quilting/curtain material. Something we get really excited about!
