Anniversary Fun

We started February celebrating Paul's parents' 40th wedding anniversary! For months, the "kids" (Paul, his brother, Mark, our sister-in-law, Rebecca, and me) have been planning to give Bob and Kay a very memorable gift. When Paul and his brother were kids, their family had a favorite fishing resort where they liked to vacation, so we thought it would be fun to all go back there with the grandkids!

We couldn't just tell them what we had planned, so we had Mark and Rebecca on Skype, wrapped several gifts as clues, then made them guess. The video at the end says it all! :-)

First, they opened a box of 4th of July crayons.

Then, Paul found a picture of their family's favorite road trip car.

"Yes, it's a block of wood, but what kind?" Answer: Cedar

Next, came the jig made by a man at the resort where they vacationed.

Finally, a gold bobber, which was part of a contest one year when the Cheney family was visiting the resort.

(I tried to embed the video here, but after several attempts I gave up and just made a new post. You'll have to watch the video there.)
