Wedding Fun and More Adventures

The week of May 8- May 12 we were traveling and visiting. Thursday we traveled to Logan, UT and stayed with Lacey and Dan. It pretty much took all day. When you have four kids a six hour drive needs to be drawn out a bit, so we stopped in Orem, UT to visit a friend. Then we headed up to Logan after that. Friday, we visited with Lacey and Dan, saw the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile at Wal-Mart. That night, Lacey and Dan babysat the kids and Adam and I went out to dinner. Then Adam drove me around Logan to show me his old stomping grounds.

Saturday, we stopped at Willow Park Zoo. We didn't realize it was Zoo Day and that there were a lot more activities going on aside from viewing the animals. They were promoting their new attraction, Capuchin monkeys. We also saw a albino porcupine, two bald eagles, a couple bobcats, lots of ducks some with ducklings, an owl, tons of turtles, and many other animals. It was loads of fun!

We had to hurry through the zoo though because we had to get to Jenny and Riyo's wedding which was in Ogden. Which was also the main reason we went on the trip. Not to mention Makayla and Kelsea were flower girls. (I took video of the wedding and wedding activities, but have been unsuccessful at copying the video onto my computer.) Also, while I was videoing the ceremony, Austin was putting dirt on my feet. It was really difficult not to move my feet. The girls had to stand in the wedding line during the ceremony, and if it were a really short ceremony they would have been just fine, but the sun was in their faces and they got a little board. Kelsea started straying and was not standing nicely and Makayla being the 'little mommy' that she is told Kelsea to be good or else she would "ruin the wedding for everybody."

The wedding was beautiful and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Especially the Newlyweds. Sunday, we went to my cousin, Ben's homecoming. Only two members of our entire family on my mom's side) were missing.

On the way home we stopped to see Grandma MacPherson. We don't get to see her often, but we had a good visit. We always love to see her and I know she loves to see us too. When we got to her home, Adam knocked on the door. When Grandma come to the door the surprised look on her face was absolutely priceless. She was so excited to see us. The funny thing about us showing-up at that particular time, is that she was about to call Adam's mother to find out what we were doing. Then before she could pick-up the phone we appeared at her door. While we were there it started snowing. We hadn't seen snow in Colorado for several weeks so the kids thought it was neat.
