On Friday, my grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We had family fly in for the occasion and we partied all weekend. On Friday afternoon we did a session at the temple. My grandparents are very proud that all five of their children and spouses and all of their grandchildren (who are old enough) are worthy to enter the temple. We had 17 people there minus a few who either couldn't get off work, just had surgery or are on missions. After that we had a large family dinner with some extended family. We presented my grandparents with a quilt that we made that has the handprints of all 20 of their grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren on it.
On Saturday, the whole family (at least 30 people) went to Goldfield Mine & Ghost Town. My great-grandfather discovered the mines there back in the 1890's so we were the VIP guests for the day. We got to do all of the attractions for free and we were given a special tour of the actual mines that my great-grandfather discovered. We had a lot of fun.
Tonight, we are headed over to my grandparents house to hang out and eat food. It has been a very crazy but enjoyable weekend.
