The day prior to G&G's anniversary party, the guys took a manly man deep sea fishing trip off the coast of St. Augustine.  Not only do the guys look cute, but they're functional too!! They caught a TON of fish including shark!!  The water was great and the weather was perfect.  What a great time!

 The day after the fishing trip, we gathered at Danny & Holly's for some swimming and eating!!! The whole family, including extended family, were there to fry up some fish, shark, halibut & hush puppies!!

 After dinner we had a special presentation for G&G.

The family had written a letter to several folks G&G really admire and requested an acknowledgment of some kind from them about their upcoming 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Were we surprised with the responses we received?!! You betcha!!

The display table of all the replies including

those from the Atlanta Braves and Jacksonville Jaguars!

Jeff Lageman even sent each individual grandchild an autographed football card!!

Letter from Sarah Palin

They were so surprised with the responses. They were not expecting something like that at all.

The food was great and the fellowship was even better.

It was an awesome, awesome time!!
