It took all day to slowly cook over the coals.
Meanwhile inside the other food preparations and house decorations were underway. On Saturday everything came together with lots of help from relatives and friends from both sides of the family.
Mitch will be attending Ohio State in August and the decorations reflected his school of choice, Red and grey were the colors of the day. Mitch and brother Matt stood still long enough for me to take a picture beside his cake and cupcakes.
We took some group photos. Here we are proudly with Mitch.

It was a busy, busy day with about 150 people attending. Fortunately the weather cooperated with sunshine and blue skies after many days of rain. On Sunday we helped clean up, and we left for the airport bright and early Monday morning. The plane we were supposed to take experienced brake problems when it arrived at Cleveland airport. One thing led to another and we left the airport at 3 p.m. instead of 9 a.m. We had a four hour layover at Chicago instead of a quick stop in Denver. Finally we arrived safely in Bozeman at 11 p.m. instead of 1:30 p.m. During the afternoon we decided to get a room in Bozeman so we wouldn't have to drive an hour and a half back to Gardiner that late at night. On the last leg of the flight we were put in first class and had a beautiful view of the sunset.
It was a trip we will not soon forget.
