Weekend o' Fun

This past weekend was a ton of fun. Rob, Erin and the girls were in Pella visiting some friends, so on Saturday, we all meet in Pella for family pictures and some quality time together. Big "Thank You" goes out to Chad and Shay for opening up their home and letting everyone crash there for the day. Family pictures were at noon and they went very well. After the photographer left, we all hung around the park to play some more. Here is a group shot playing on the playground.
Heather and Karys playing on the swings, say "Cheese"After the swings, they headed over to the merry-go-round, that was a big hit!
Karys was having so much fun, she invited her sister Gracie and Cousin Nathan to come play with her.

Let's share a smile. Share a kiss.
Even Riley got to come out for family pictures, but we didn't put her in jeans and a white top.
We played so hard at the playground that Shay got tired she couldn't make it back to the car and needed a ride.
Group pictures were a lot of fun. After the photo shoot was over we headed back to Chad and Shay's, the kids took naps and some of the adults too. Heather and I got changed and headed to a wedding. One of her friends from high school was getting married. Heather was excited to go because two of her good friends were also attending the wedding. Here is the former Tulip Court, Amy, Heather and Sarah, reunited to celebrate the wedding of the former tulip queen Hillary(not pictured).
Check it out, when we try, we clean up pretty well!
After the wedding we headed back to hang out a little more with the gang and watch some Olympics and then it was back home. Sunday we had everyone over to our house for lunch. We cooked kabobs on the grill and had corn on the cob. A biggest hit of the afternoon was the "Miracle Bubbles" that Grandma Doreen brought.
Excitement in every bubble as they floated to the ground.
Try to catch them before they pop.
Nathan was so excited he could hardly contain himself or he was trying to eat the bubbles.

Grandma remembered she had her bubble machine in the car, that brought everyone out to the yard for some bubble time!

Thanks so much for opening your home and making the yummiest meal! Nathan is getting super pumped to come and stay with Uncle Seth, Auntie Heather and "cousin" Riley!
