Happy Anniversary

Cousins Bob and Wanda McConnell celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on August 16, 2008. Their children, Lisa and Jeff, and grandchildren, Madison and Matthew, hosted a party for them at the Anderson Blockhouse at Natural Tunnel State Park. Bob and Wanda have dedicated lots of time and energy the last few years to make the Blockhouse project a reality. As you can see by the picture below, their efforts are much appreciated. I didn't take many pictures at the party, as I was too busy gabbing, but I did catch the happy couple cutting the cake. The cake was made according to an old recipe and had raisins and currants in it. Tasty! It was made by Lisa's husband, Chris.

This picture shows the Blockhouse in the rear. We all gathered at the pavilion adjacent to the Intrepretative Center near the Blockhouse. Jeff took lots of old family photos and made a DVD which was shown during the party on the large screen TV in the center.

It was a good day for two wonderful people.
