Great Weekend, Great Memories

What a fun weekend it was.  Lots going on and oh my, I think my age is showing a tad.  Just can't hang in there like I did 20 years ago!

The kids arrived on Thursday and we had fun just hanging out.  They went to Grand Haven to the Coast Guard Festival to check things out.  Then back here for pizza and they sat around the campfire catching up until late that night.

Friday was a busy day, getting ready for Jacob's graduation open house.  My sister Maggie and I did all the food so we were extremely busy getting things ready for five o'clock.  It was rainy and gloomy out most of the day.  Thank God the sun came out and it was perfect for the open house.
With kids sleeping everywhere, I tripped over a few on the living room floor as we headed out to do some decorating of the reception hall.  Then we were off to the wedding.

Let me tell you, it was the most beautiful day for a wedding.  Sunny, about 73 degrees and a lovely setting.

Our little Jojo
The ceremony was touching and beautiful.  Then onward to the reception.
Family, dancing, togetherness and celebrating a wonderful union of Jessie and Cory. 
Sunday - kids back home to Florida and then we rested a tad and off to a family reunion.

I had such a pleasant surprise.  My very best friend from high school was there!  We did a little catching up.  She is in town for a week so hoping we can meet for a few hours to continue on chatting.

What a great weekend.  We so missed my brother and Marlene.  They weren't able to attend due to some health issues with his eyes.  We sent pictures all night long to them.  Hope they know we were feeling the void and knew they were with us in spirit.

This is not a complete family photo but you get the just.........we are tight as tight~
And just a few other favorites

Steps slow dancing?
