We took an "are-we-there-yet, is it my turn for the i-pod" road trip down to Aunt Polly's for her annual pool party to celebrate the Birthday's and Anniversary's. Such a nice day! Uncle Harry on the grill with the wings and pulled pork sandwiches, and everyone brought a dish to pass. Our Smoked Salmon from Uncle Butch was quite a treat! We also enjoyed some taco dip, Mom's Deviled Eggs and Olives. Callie had a "hand" full!
Callie was really enjoying watching me get ready for my cousin Stephanie's wedding. The compliments were flowing. "Mom, you look soooo beautiful." "Dad you look sooooo handsome." "If I had a dress like that, I would never take it off." This comment was the best....I was debating between two pairs of shoes, one much fancier than the other, I told Callie I was confused, which one I should pick. Callie said, "Mom, it I had shoes like those, I would never be confused!". The next day she even made a point of asking us, "if we enjoyed ourselves at the wedding."
They got married downtown. As I was walking out of the church after the ceremony, my dress totally blew up with the wind! Some guy came up and thanked me for the Marilyn Monroe moment. This is actually the second time this has happened to me. The first was with a real exhaust grate in Madison. We were there for our friends Erica and Mike's wedding who we share our anniversary with.
It was a small wedding, great band. Everyone in my Dad's side of the family lives far away so we don't see them that often. It was fun to spend time with them. My sister, parents and I danced the night away!
Hey Mom, Miami Vice Called, they want Dad's tie back!
It was another "family" reunion at Andy and Sara's wedding. These boys are like our brother's. We consider them to be family. And our "sister" Heather was here too! The whole gang was back home to the lake. Carol was in her glory. The entire evening she was grinning from ear to ear. Could a mother be happier? Her crowning moment was "Sweet Carol Stein". Sung to the tune of Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, but modified by my cousin-in-law Dave at our wedding. It's been a tradition at every family event since. I was honored to be asked to take some pictures for them! Look, I even got-in one!
Back from the 80's....how cool is my Dad? Though still maybe a little Miami Vice, but Crockett was pretty awesome, and my Dad did like that show!
