My parents' 50th anniversary party

My parents celebrated 50 years of marriage by treating their family to a weekend in Bloomington. We hit the rides at the Mall of America during the day on Friday and then spent a night at The Embassy Suites, including a nice dinner out. I had the filet mignon!

 

The happy couple:

Here are the other couples in attendance:

With their youngest grandkid (for now!):

As you can expect from my dad, there was a lot of history to cover, quizzes to be taken, and long prayers to read.

They also surprised us with a rendition of Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe" (and yes, I do have a clip of it recorded on video).

The sons gave some speeches too:

And here's one more shot with the grandkids. My parents look really happy.

Congrats again on maintaining an amazing relationship. Thanks for including us in a memorable night!
