A Beautiful Wedding

A few weekends ago, we attended the wedding of a very close family friend. The wedding was gorgeous and amazing. The best part for us was that my mom, Jesse and Shelly, Eric and Avery, and Zak were all there together! There were also lots of our amazing friends who were there to celebrate as well.
It was one of the best weddings I have ever been to. The location was amazing, the ceremony was so beautiful, the food was devine, and the music and dancing were so much fun! Celebrating the marriage of two amazing people in the company of wonderful friends and family is something we will always cherish.
Here are some pictures from the day:

Avery found a hula hoop.

Avery was dancing so much! It was adorable. We thought we got a bunch of video, but our camera was not actually recording. We are bummed!

Avery has some sweet dance moves.

Every good dancer needs a snack break.

August River Trip

I finally have a few moments to post some of our latest river trip pictures. We went on another private trip this summer with some of our really good friends who had also been river guides before babies came along. It was such a wonderful trip and it was really nice to meet everyone's beautiful children and to have them all play together.
It was cold and rainy the first few days of the trip, but it eventually cleared up and it was nice and warm again. All the kids had so much fun! It was great to see future 2nd and 3rd generation boatman on the river at such young ages! We look forward to seeing everyone again on our trip next summer!

Here we all are after the trip. Don't we look exhausted!

Cool Days

Here are a few pictures we took about three weeks ago when it was very cool outside. We had to pull out a winter sweater out for Avery. We have had a lot of these cool days this summer. We have really been enjoying it.
The pictures are from Avery's frequent trips to the downtown play area.
