Geisler 60th Anniversary

On Saturday we traveled up to Pocatello, Idaho to celebrate my Grandma and Grandpa Geislers 60th Wedding Anniversary. The whole family showed up for a surprise party. It was great. they were definitely shocked and very thrilled to see everyone. We had a fun time talking and reminiscing. There was a wonderful tribute given by a lot of the family and it was fun to hear the different memories of my grandma and grandpa.

For me, I will always remember going to the Rocketeer with them and Grandpa complaining about the cost of popcorn. I LOVED all their games they had at their house-- namely Payday-- that is one I didn't have at my house. I loved their treehouse, and camping trips with them to Willow Flat. I enjoy their birthday cards they send on time without fail. I was blessed to be baptised by my grandpa as well as him being able to be a witness at my wedding. My grandma was one of the very few people-- the only family member to send me letters while I was in Jerusalem-- which meant the world. I am so grateful for them and their example to me. They are such a cute couple and I only can hope that I end up like them. Thanks for everything Grandma and Grandpa. We love you!

What a cute couple! 60 years is awesome. Pocatello Idaho! It reminds me of my grandparents who grew up in Wendall Idaho. Small town, cute old people! Glad you had fun.

Cool. Your mom's sisters look so much alike. And your grandpa doesn't look a day older than when I saw him last what 10 years ago?
