Wedding Day!

The wedding day was one busy day and we were just guests. Brandalyn and Paul looked amazing and so happy. The day started off bright and early with the race to check out of the hotel and get to the temple. Reilly was kind enough to watch all the kiddos so everyone could attend the ceremony. After we waited (as good as kids wait) for the bride and groom to make their big entrance. Then we headed off to the luncheon. We let Rhone nap in the car while we stopped in a few stores we rarely visit (IKEA and REI). Then we headed to the zoo. It was fun, but hot. Then we rounded up all the tired kiddos grabbed dinner and headed off the the beautiful reception. We thought the excitement was over, but on the way to Idaho the stomach flu hit Ben, so with a few emergency stops we finally ended the wedding day in Idaho. Whew what a fun and long day.

Our little family at the temple.

Ben with his Dad. I love that we got one of him smiling.


This picture doesn't show it, but Rhone really adores his older cousin Liesel.

These little boys were done waiting quietly when we pulled out the trucks.

A crowd of kids sure is fun. I like how Rhone isn't sure about the lion drinking fountain.

The cousins at the zoo.

We never could have posed this, but I love how they are all checking out the chicken and her chicks.

Rhone has been into maps lately, and insisted on having one of the zoo.
