This is the Hubby’s only living grandparent and my children’s great grandma. She is ninety-three. During the reunion all thirty-five of us made the trek up to Kolob mountain where the Hubby’s family has property in a most beautiful setting to celebrate this little lady’s birthday. She and her small doggy were mighty grateful and a bit overwhelmed!
The day started with the boys and dads heading up to the cabin early to do a service project. Moms, younger children and babies showed up later for a day of good old fashioned fun, which included:
Burgers grilled by Grandpa and Uncle Bill,
Watermelon eating {with juices flowing a plenty},
multitudinous chip munching,
family rides in the Rhino,
Happy Birthday singing and chocolate cake eating,
rock painting {a craft from the Lee kids’ childhood which kept our little ones busy for over an hour!},
and of course, tree climbing.
We finished off the celebration with a quilt for Grandma that had a handprint and name from each of her twenty great grandchildren. She thought it was quite wonderful!
I ended the day with a quick walk to catch a few stills of some of the simplistic, yet beautiful parts of the property. Enjoy!
She's one amazing strong woman. Looks like the perfect birthday to me!
ReplyDeleteIf you spent time at Kolob, you were right by New Harmony where I spent a year of my life with my grandparents. Beautiful place. Sounds like lots of fun and wonderful memories.
