Labor Day Weekend had a special twist to it this year. We always go to Parowan to celebrate with Bruce and Cara to ride ATVs and enjoy family.
This year we also celebrated the 60th wedding anniversary of Fred and Claire Dalton, our mom and dad. We gave them a big party 10 years ago on their 50th, this year they said they wanted a small affair so the eight of us took them out to dinner on Saturday night.
Mike convinced them to come down from the mountain and so he and Beverly drove them to Rusty's Steakhouse up Cedar Canyon where the rest of us met them for a good dinner and better conversation. Everyone enjoyed their food and the atmosphere there.
If you facebook, Beverly already posted some pictures of after we came out of Rusty's.
The rest of the weekend went real well, both from a visiting family standpoint and from my personal experience, since I was just starting my Revlimid I had pretty good stamina and was able to stay up and enjoy the time with everyone.
Monday morning brought the mandatory breakfast with the Parowan Lions Club and the church steps picture of the family members that could make it there. Between Cara and Bruce's family and our family and friends we had about 20 people most of the weekend, I still don't know where Bruce and Cara put everyone at night after Patty and I and Amanda, Ryan and Matt went over to stay at Mom and Dad's house.
After breakfast and the picture, we all made our way down the street to watch the parade, we had set out some chairs the night before to save our space so it was nice, it actually started off quite cool but soon warmed up as the sun came out. It was nice seeing the excitement in the eyes of the kids, we had Danella and Annie's twins with us as well as Nathan and Jacob Pectol, more candy was thrown than I can remember for several years, the look on all the kid's faces and the helping of them by moms, sisters, and others was worth the trip.
We spent the rest of the day visiting, eating and eventually saying goodbye to everyone that came to visit until it was time for us to come home too. As I said, It was a great weekend.
