Celebrating 40 Years!

On Labor Day weekend, we headed back to the hills for Tim and Linda Haggar's Vow Renewal Ceremony.  The ceremony was held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, with Father David officiating.  It was small and private - with only Tim and Linda's children, their spouses, and grandchildren in attendance.  It was amazing to witness the reaffirmation of their love and commitment to each other.  After the ceremony, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Minerva's.

Another exciting part of the weekend was celebrating Linda's 60th birthday.  Tim Sr. rented a cabin in Hill City for the whole family.  We spend Saturday evening and Sunday there.  The kids had so much fun running around and playing with each other.  The adults enjoyed sharing stories, marveling at the kiddos, and laughing until our stomachs hurt. 

 Ready for the ceremony!

We had planned to camp outside in a tent, however, the weather was a little cool

and we weren't sure the kids would stay outside...

So we set up camp in the movie room!
