50th Wedding Anniversary!

I drove down to Utah for a Family Reunion for Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary. We had so much fun. The whole week was packed with all kinds of activities! It would take me along time to tell all about it! Here is a quick outline of our week!
Gary almost made it to the Party on Friday. He had a plane ticket. But he was having a bad week so i told him to stay home close to his doctors. It ended up being good for him to stay home. He needed the rest and our schedule would not have been good for him. We missed him alot. I know he was sad to not be there. He really was. :-)
Sunday- Drive 13 hours to Cindy's-collapse and sleep
Monday- Drive 3 more hours to Brian Head meet family and head to Zion National Park
Tuesday- Play on ATV's and explore Brian Head and have fun with family
Wed- Play at cabin- Clean Cabin- Head back to Lehi
Thursday- Temple Open house Tour in Oacker?-Salt Lake City Temple Movie of Joseph Smith-Adult Dinner at Brazilian Grill
Friday- Family photo session-Picnic in Canyon for Mom and Dad-Program
Saturday- Swim party at Stoddard pool- Dinner and Talent show at Todds Showroom in Heber
Sunday- get up at 5am and drive home following David and girls back home!
Here are a few of my favorite photos! We put all our photos together at the end of the week and there were over 2500 photos taken all week. Alot were duplicate! But crazy amount of photos taken!
We left a place for Gary's photo to be added later. We really missed Dad at the party.

Todd-Mom-Scott-Cindy

The Westra family- It was fun to be all together again. I am sure Greg and Johnny were having fun watching.

The whole Westra Clan- Everyone was there except Gary. Pretty good for 36 people. We all got along and had a great time. We put on a picnic for Mom and Dads friends. The program included a song by the grand kids and children and then the grown up boys sang a great song also.


We spent a few days in Brian Head. Johns boss let us use his vacation house. The scenery was awesome and we had a fun time exploring on the ATV's. Jenn's idea was to do a photo shoot in the Aspen trees. It turned out pretty cool. Good Idea. Too bad not everyone was there. It also rained 10 minutes after we were done getting back.

The whole gang. Kind of looks like a scene from a movie?
