80th birthday celebration

On Saturday we headed down to a little town in Carbon County called Spring Glen to celebrate my grandma and grandpa's 80th birthday. Grandma turned 80 last month, Grandpa this. We are especially happy to celebrate 80 years of grandma's life since she has survived to bouts of breast cancer. Don't they look happy? In May they celebrated 60 years of marriage.
The house in Spring Glen has lots of memories for me. This was my great-grandparents house and I cherish the times spent there. I swung on this very swing many of times.


After we sang happy birthday we did a balloon launch. They had previously handed out a bunch of balloons to the kids. Owen had about five. I'm not exactly sure what happened because I was over taking pictures of my grandparents but I found Owen like this! I'm not sure if someone forced him to let go of his balloons or if he did it willingly but he was very unhappy about it! Ian lasted less than an hour and Adam sat with him in the tahoe while I mingled with family and friends...and he didn't complain about it at all. What a great hubby don't you think?

That looks like a really fun party! I love the idea of releasing all those balloons! Very cool. Too bad Ian didn't last a little bit longer. Adam's awesome!

What a wonderful day to celebrate. Life! I love the photo of Owen. John cried at Michael's funeral when somebody made him release his balloon too. Poor kids.
