Yup, his brain may tell him that he's still in his mid 20's but the calendar says it's been five decades or in other words, half a century. In Hawaii he qualifies for the senior discounts.
He was quite happy with birthday tickets to the Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert coming up in Utah even though he would need to wait a month to cash in the tickets.
Nathan gave him a Texas Rangers hat that would surely make his Texas Papa proud.
For his birthday we took the day off and went to Jackson for a ride up to Rendezvous Mountain on the tram and gondola.
Standing at eye level with the Grand Tetons with a 360 view of Wyoming and Idaho was spectacular! However, my three boys were shivering as we climbed 4,139 vertical feet in a matter of twelve minutes and the temperature dropped from 82 to 64 degrees.
It didn't help that the winds at that elevation were blowing across leftover snow from winter.
Once we had hiked our share of the mountain we headed down to the city of Jackson Hole. LeRoy spends so much time working there that it was nice for him to just play tourist.
As a bonus gift at LeRoy's request, we decided to get old fashioned pictures taken.
Hyrum absolutely hates to have his picture taken but as soon as they had him dressed up and gave him a gun he was in character and he let them snap as many pictures as they wanted.
It brought back memories from a long ago trip to the same photo shop (circa 2003) when we had similar pictures taken with our four older kids before Nathan and Hyrum were born.
