Wow! So I never updated about our trip to Kansas. My brother, Charlie, got married on July 5th, so we (we is Leah, Matthew, Owen, Chellie, David, Martin and myself) all hopped the nearest flight (which landed us in Denver, CO) and then put our tired butts in a van (as it was about 1:30 am) and drove about 10 hours to Lawrence, KS. We got in the day before the wedding rehearsal and had to make an unscheduled pit stop to Wal-Mart since my shampoo and conditioner and the kid's wash and lotion got confiscated at the airport because I am so forgetful (I had packed it in a bag that I planned to check and then in the confusion opted to carry it on).
The Bride and Groom.
Anyway, long story short, we had lots of fun attending the rehearsal, the rehearsal dinner, a 4th of July BBQ followed by fireworks at the state park, the wedding & reception, a birthday celebration and ended up seeing Wall-E the day before we left. We ended the trip with the drive back to Denver, CO and a mad dash (no kidding, we were literally running) through the airport. Oh and I mustn't forget that one of my bags (the one with the shampoo and conditioner, etc.) did not make it to Seattle with the rest of our things. Instead it took a detour through Albuquerque, NM and Las Vegas, NV and was delivered to me 2 days after we got back.
Our little flower girl!It was a fun time and a beautiful wedding. Jeff and Mom made it for the BBQ & fireworks and the wedding. It was fun and a little stressful at times, but it was great getting to see everyone.
Some fun pictures we took in the car on the drive back. (In case you are wondering, those are magnetic rocks.)
