Father's Day & Retirement Party

We had a wonderful weekend with all of the kids home to visit and the grandkids as well. The kids decided to host a retirement and Father's Day party for Marcia and I this past weekend. It was all their idea and they even provided the meal and entertainment for the evening. Everyone started showing up Saturday afternoon from their various homes. There were a couple of problems as Matt and Alyssa both had flat tires on their way home but everbody made it without further delay. The weather even cooperated and we got some sunshine instead of rain for the whole time the kids were home.

The first evening started out with the kids all fixing a fiesta meal with the various things they had brought with them. We had a delicous meal and lots of good fun as we enjoyed the food. I took lots of pictures with Alyssa's help and I will include a link to a web album after this paragraph. After dinner we adjourned to the campfire ring where we had a nice fire and lots of time to just enjoy the evening. The mosquitoes even cooperated and pretty much left us alone. The kids also brought some entertainment in the form of a pinata which will show up in the pictures. After Cole finally brought the pinata down we just sat around the campfire making smores and when it started to get a little bit dark there were lots of sparklers and various other fireworks. Following is the link to the web album, just copy and paste this link into your browser address line and it will take you directly to the album site:
