Shawn's Aunt Diane and Uncle Lee celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year, and their daughters organized a celebration with some close family and friends. The kids are in school, and it was a long distance to travel, so I decided I would just go on my own. Alex organized a house for our family, and we all got to spend a lot of time together.
The event was at the American Legion Post 291 on Saturday October 5th, and we all enjoyed drinks and snacks before Brynn gave a speech and we all toasted Diane and Lee. Everyone contributed pictures and slides to a slideshow that was playing on a screen, and a photographer captured the moment and got us the photos the next day.
After the event we all took pictures together on the beach, then the Vernons went to the beach nearby so Charlie could run around and be wild in the sand.
In the evening we changed in to more comfortable clothes and gathered at Diane and Lee's house. The girls had a taco truck pulled up, serving margaritas, Mexican coke, and many options for food.
Sunday morning we went back over to Diane and Lee's for breakfast and then stayed the day, playing games, watching some football, and enjoying the weather.
Most everyone flew home on Monday, while Alex's family did some sightseeing nearby. I enjoyed getting to spend some extended time with my brothers, and definitely got all the quality time with Charlie that I could have wished for. He is certainly a high energy little guy and we got to be good buddies by the end of the weekend. He couldn't remember my name consistently and I tried to convince him my name was Uncle Bunny, but he preferred to call me Uncle Shawn.
