Randall 50th Anniversary Party

 When we first started talking about celebrating my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary, I sent my dad the Zephyr Point info from where we did the Fehlberg Family Reunion a few years back.  He said--great--but you should plan it.  Haha.  

So, I did.  And it was super fun!  Of course there are several things I would tweak, and I had some great help from my sibs.  But it was a blast.  10 out of 10 would do again.

Seriously every picture seems magical and like I want to share it. 

So I'm going to have to hold back.  But here's the agenda and some of my favorite moments.  My kids were rockstars, having fun, participating, and helping the littles have fun too.

Zephyr Point is amazing!  Everyone loved it.


Part of the talent show was singing Randall classics--Mimi brought shower caps for the Tubby Song

The happy couple in their cute shirts

50 years! 

Go Bling!  A family favorite.  Our own custom version of Go Fish

Our balloon cluster (this was at the Carson Valley Inn where we had the final celebration dinner)

Lots of dancing

All the guests


We had two special guests for this meal, my cousin Cindy and her husband John

So many fun meals in the cafeteria at Zephyr

These guys were a dynamic duo for the Minute to Win it competition


We did family photos, and then some bubble blowing

All the grandkids except Bip, she was too young

It was a bit chilly, but the kids had fun at the beach anyway

Ben's first plunge of the summer (we didn't renew our pool membership, so it was in the lake this year.)

Okay, isn't he looking so grown up? 

Ben with Devin

Mimi and Papa! 


Tahoe is about a 14 hour road trip.  Very long.  On the way there these guys watched all 6 Jurassic Park movies.  We didn't even bring any other movies, so we had to swing by a Walmart on the way home and buy some for the way home. (This was on the way to our little hike, but the sibs had fun together.) 


Libby helped Ben do an instagram photoshoot (and of course he took pics of her too)

Beautiful

We had fun paddle boarding around. 

I am not doing it all justice.  I'm so thankful for my family and for the chance to be with them!
