What a celebration we had in Ithaca! My parents 50th wedding anniversary was on July 21 and although we knew it would be, it proved to be a very special and meaningful day for my parents and all of us. The adults (dare I call myself that??) had a lot of fun planning, shopping, cooking and spending time together while the cousins splashed and played together with Grandma and Grandpa.
 |
| We arrived to a nice full pool that the girls immediately jumped into. |
 |
| Grandpa arrived after picking up some dog food at the store and jumped in the pool too! |

 |
| Good morning sunshines |
 |
| There were weeds in the lake like we have never seen before! Look at that big pile that we took out of the water. |
 |
| The weeds are clear and now we can play. |
 |
| Good old Kona girl |
 |
| Madeline and Marin were super excited to go out so far into the deep with Aunt KK. |
 |
| Hide and Surprise! I think they could have played this game for hours!! |
 |
| Siblings dressed and ready to go! Kelli, Scott, Karen, Karla and Sandy |
 |
| Getting ready for the big day! Some of the meat we prepared for the party. |

| Everyone helped with the food. |
 |
| Aunt KK working on decorating cupcakes - 48 down, 48 more to go! |
 |
| Madeline was waiting so patiently to taste the frosting after KK finished, but it was such a busy day and her little eyes could not stay open any longer. |
 |
| Keeping busy |
 |
| Although these flip-flop picture frames may look like frames to us, they caused a little confusion for Charlotte. |
