Wow! I just picked up the pic.'s from our trip. Cha-Ching! Yeah, I put a few bucks down for those. But, I just loved them all. I think I printed about 600 pic's. Somebody take my camera please. Yeah, try to get it away from me. :0)
Any way the trip story continues.....
Let's see, I left off with us visiting the farm where Dave grew up. That night was the rehearsal for Dave's niece's wedding. I don't know if you've heard this before or not, but when I was in high school our band teacher always said if you have a bad rehearsal, you will have a great performance. Well, the opposite is true, too. Amanda did very well in the rehearsal. But, when it came to the wedding and she saw all the people sitting in the church, I think she got a bit of stage fright. My plan was, to send her on down the aisle and step to the side so I wouldn't be in any of the pic's or the wedding video. Poor Amanda just stood at the beginning of the aisle, throwing her flower petals, quietly crying Mommy, Mommy. She wasn't moving, but she was throwing her petals. Finally, I ran down the aisle and called to her like she was a puppy, to get her to come down the aisle. The whole way she threw her petals and quietly cried Mommy, Mommy. So cute. I was hoping that if she got scared at least we could get something for Funniest Home Videos, but it wasn't bad enough to submit. Darn, I won't win $10,000. :0)
Dave was a speaker in the wedding and his brother Al was the videographer. It was a beautiful wedding and the reception was nice, too. We had plenty of food and the kids liked drinking their punch out of champagne glasses.
The next day was Sunday. I was going to go to church, but knew it would be a disaster with the girls. They didn't get enough sleep the day before (because of the wedding), so I stayed home and started getting things ready for our trip back. We had a ton of laundry to get done and packed up. Later that afternoon, Dave loaded on the camper and we packed as much as we could so we would be ready to leave first thing the next morning.
I made a slide show below of the pic's from the wedding, reception and getting the camper ready. Enjoy!

WOWZA! We have alot of the same "blogger" friends. Sorry it's taken me so long to come over and say HELLO!! Thanks for visiting my blog. I've wanted to read back and see all about you and family but I just haven't had the chance. I feel bad for your daughter at the wedding. It sounds like you've had quite the time with family though...that's great!!
Oh, sweet little one, I would have been scared when I saw all those people too. Hey, wait a minute, that DID happen to me when I was a flower girl at her age!! =) I'm glad to hear the trip went well, though, and she'll laugh about it when she's older, too!!
Amanda looks so adorable. You got some great pics. I bet you will be glad to get back home.
