50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration to Seattle and the San Juan Islands August 11-19, 2012

I'm posting many photos that capture the wonderful time we had at the San Juan Islands and Seattle.  It was a very special experience for dad and me to spend our 50th wedding anniversary with our family who we love so much.  Thanks for making it possible for us to spend a week with you.  It was great to see how much fun you had inter acting with each other.  We are so blessed to have so much love in our family and we appreciate the kind and thoughtful things you do for your mom and dad.  We have read the beautiful book you gave to us.  What a treasure it is to have your "growing up Schill" memories, family photos and especially your testimonies of the gospel.  Thank you for the other gifts you gave us and the incredible surprise of having dinner on top of the Space Needle! It was such a neat experience and the food was so delicious.  It was the perfect way to end the week.  We love you all very much.  Mom and Dad
