Gryte's 40th Wedding anniversary

This weekend Gryte's celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Cyndi is a good friend of Josh's and the Gryte's are her parents. Cyndi and Nikka planned the event months ago and invited all of their closest friends and family. We went to McFarland park where Cyndi had ordered quite the buffet! Shrimp, salad, hummas, sandwiches, lemonade, wine, it was amazing food. Gryte's arrived and we completely surprised them. They thought they were coming to a picnic to celebrate Sarah's (another of Josh's good friends) new job. It was so fun to see the look on their faces :)

--Lake at McFarland Park--

McFarland park is a very pretty park in North Ames. It has a lake with lots of trails to explore, or walk around the lake on. We also got to see Wes and Sarah and learn that they are moving to Ohio soon. Sarah just received an offer to coach a volleyball team at a college about an hour south of Cleveland. They are living in the house that Sarah's mom grew up in! They are both very excited, and we will have to plan a trip to visit them soon!
