It was nice that we were able to make it to Alumni weekend this year - the last few years we have been traveling and not able to attend. We made it a priority this year, since it's the 200 year anniversary, and then later learned about the "Miami Merger Moment." The university wanted to beat the current Guinness Book of World Record for largest number of couples renewing their wedding vows in one place at one time. Friday Ben and I celebrate 15 years of marriage, and since we got married on campus, it seemed like a cool way to celebrate. Unofficially, there were 1087 couples there, and the current record was 624, so I think it's safe to say we beat the record.
We also had band duties that day, and then attended the BBQ that evening. Earlier in the day the band had a lunch picnic and Ben played broom ball in the morning too. The kids had a good time - even though they had to stand around and wait while we played in the band, they had friends to play with while they did so. At the BBQ, there was a "Kid Zone" with inflatables to play on, so we all just brought chairs over to that area and hung out where we could watch the kids. After dark, we returned to the dorm where we all stayed (free for Alumni Band members), put the kids in their pajamas, and then headed to the basement where all the kids watched TV and the adults were able to hang out. We went to bed at midnight, then visited the Res for a toasted roll for breakfast before heading home. A great weekend, and the weather was perfect, but we were all pretty tired yesterday. Hoping the kids sleep late today to catch up - we drop Maria off at camp this afternoon.
