hit the ground running!

wedding festivities started almost immediately

which meant a lot of time riding in the car,

and this is how Lydia felt about it:

it meant a lot of looking at skies that looked like this, WILLING and PRAYING them away:

(it worked)

and it meant a lot of yummy food, awesome company, and fun activities:

(this is ALL the girls in family except for Jake's sister - that's a lot 'o girls!)

that's all the elephant I can eat today - more tomorrow!
