Sarah's turned 50!

On May 23 Sarah Pate turned a half century! What a life!! She had a big ta do up at their 'cabin' in Serene Lakes (near Lake Tahoe.) The weather was warm but the snow was still there. Didnt stop my kids playing at the beach with the great buckets and shovels from Sarah!

We had a nice hike through the woods before the fun and games began!

Here are a bunch of videos from the big day!

Sydney got sick late Sunday night and the rest of the week was spent down in Alamo at the Pate house with sick kids...Courtney got it on Thursday and Samantha woke up w it on Friday. We drove back Saturday and Courtney got sick a bunch of times, I bought a bunch of towels at costco so we were safe.
