60th Anniversary Celebration

Here is the BEAUTIFUL reason that we got to go to the smokey mountains this past weekend. Thank you Gramps and Grams for your devotion and love for each other and for Christ. You truly are an example for us to follow. (if we have to vote on doing this yearly....the waibel family is in:))

Here is our 12 bedroom/12 bathroom cabin. It was 3 stories. Lower level had 4 bedrooms and bumper pool table and flat screen tv. Middle floor had kitchen, eating area, living area and 3 bedrooms, and top floor had pool table, air hockey, small living area and 5 bedrooms.

The resort had this nice pool area(and beautiful scenery) and a hot tub (that was cold). A work out center and sauna and steam room. Very nice. We came just in time for pool weather, because the day we left was the day they closed down the pool for the season.

The cabin had these two long tables that fit us quite well. There was also this small round table (beside where this picture was taken) that seated the older 4 kids.

This is the beautiful view we had from our cabin. It was breath taking.

A 12x12 scrapbook was made for Gramps and Grams for their 60th. We all did several pages of memories. It turned out really nice.

On Saturday morning we went for a hike in the smokeys. We did the trail that leads to Laurel Falls. Nick and I had done this trail before, but we knew it was a trail that was paved and easy going.

One morning in the kitchen. Getting ourselves breakfast. We were all on our own for breakfast then each family(Jerry Family, Jan Family and Joan and Gma) took a day for lunch and dinners. Worked really nice. The kitchen wasn't terribly big so less bodies in the kitchen at once is ideal:).

Tricia and our kids sitting out on the steps one morning. All still in their pj's.

Of course there are hundreds of pictures to post, but I don't feel like posting them all:)...so this was just a quick sampling of our wonderful fun filled weekend with the entire Harold Gutwein family!!! So glad we could all make it.
