The 50th Celebration

Our family returned last night from a trip to Oklahoma to celebrate my Sister and Brother-in-law's 50th Anniversary. It was a very busy weekend. My sister has been working on this weekend for at least a year and a half. Friday night was a cookout at their house as relatives from all over the United States started trickling in. Saturday was a reunion for my Brother-in-laws family (8 boys, no girls). Sunday was church, where I think we came close to doubling the size of their worship attendees, and in the afternoon the actual 50th Celebration. We took our pop-up camper and shared it with our two daughters, son-in-law and 3 granddaughters. The camper was perfect for sleeping but a bit to crowded for anything else. The weather was HOT -- near or above 100 every day. Thankfully, we have air conditioning! It was a wonderful weekend and a time of seeing many, many, many relatives.
