We spent last weekend in Hurricane and St. George visiting Grandma and Grandpa and Grammy and Wolfgang and celebrating Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary and Matt's 13th Birthday. Jill and her kids joined in the fun as well. I took a ton of pictures so I am just going to post a bunch of them on here.
We stayed at Grammy and Wolfgang's house in Hurricane. Grammy likes to buy the National Enquirer and Jen was apparently shocked that Dr. Oz is a fake (or maybe the fact that Jen rejected Brad).
Matt, Becca and Nicky waiting to get soaked by the big bucket and the Washington Rec center pool....
And they were not disappointed
Matt got Super Mario Brothers for the Wii for his b-day. Because he's just not spending enough time playing video games. Actually, I can play this classic game with him - good father-son bonding time.
About a week before he turned 13, Matt received his Life Scout rank. He has now officially caught up to his dad in scouting advancement.
We had a little time to go him some balls at the sky mountain golf course (10th fairway is in Grammy & Wolf's back yard). Beautiful red rocks surround this course.
Wolfgang came and gave us a few pointers on how to make the ball go straight.
Later in the day we had a picnic at the park. The tempurature was mid-60's and sunny.
There was plenty of time to play on all the fun features at the park. Here Jill helps Dude climb up to the slide.
Dylan chillin'
Kinlee climbs the rock wall.
Kaitlyn takes it all in and soaks up the sun.
The Golden Anniversary Couple.
Matt lights his own birthday candles. I think there is a Merit Badge for that.
Jen shows fine form throwing the Frisbee.
Not quite 50 years, but coming up on 19.

Pretty amazing shots for an 8-year old with a little cheap digital camera. She figured out when to press the button to allow for the delay in the shutter.
(I'm happy to report that no kids were injured in the making of this blog post)
After the photo session, she decided she wanted to see what she looks like with her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Mirrors are useless in this situation, so she had Nicky take the above picture. Good to see some 3rd grade activities never change.

Happy Anniversary to my parents who were married 50 years ago today in the Manti Temple.
