Stardate 62614.49 - Ohio Wedding, Day Two

On Saturday we had the morning to kill before the wedding, so we went to a nearby school and used their playground to entertain the kids. Loren actually played for 2 hours (Ellie and Ethan arrived part-way through). Here I demonstrate the proper form to Loren.


Loren really liked the "rocket ship," and she played on it for a very long time.


Uncle Andy and Aunt Jen arrived with Grandpop, Grandma, Uncle Steve, Aunt Rachel, and cousins Ethan and Ellie. There was some type of soccer camp going on in the field by the playground, and you can see some of it in the background.


Here Ellie takes a turn at the spaceship wheel.


And after the playground we went back to the hotel and got ready for the wedding. None of the photos we took in the church turned out, so here are the bride and groom immediately after the wedding. I know he looks short in this photo, but Brian is 6' 4". His bride, Bonnie, is 6' 5".


Here Loren just wakes up from her nap while Daddy supervises. She slept through the entire service!


Afterward we went to the reception. Here Loren poses for the camera at our table.


And here is cousin Ethan.

And here Cheryl and Loren sample the reception beverages.


After dinner there was a lot of chaotic dancing on the part of me and Loren (and the other kids). We headed back to the hotel by 8:30 PM or so, and were in bed before 10 PM. The next morning, Loren said, "We did the Hokey Pokey!"
