We continued our summer of traveling by heading to Minnesota for our friends' wedding. They have a special place in our hearts because they lived with us a few years ago when Andy coached hockey in town. They're like our 'kids.' :)
We decided to leave Kinley with the grandparents since it was a 10 hour drive and she had just been such a trooper on our San Antonio trip. It hurt my heart to leave her but I knew we needed some time to let loose and celebrate!
Can you imagine what I thought when we pulled up to Andy's sisters house for the rehearsal dinner??...
Kinley would have loved this!! Kid heaven!
They had a nice backyard barbeque so we could relax and meet their friends and family.

After dinner we moved the party inside and things got wild!
They have some really fun and welcoming friends & family!
The soon-to-be Mahers:
Bear was also our house guest in Springfield. We had the music blasting in the car & Bear decided that was a good spot to nap.
Hula hoops even came out...
We were up bright and early the next morning to help decorate. We stayed at Andy's moms house and the ceremony and reception were in her backyard so it worked out perfectly.
I helped set up the picture aisle for the entrance.
The sweet flower girls..
Tabitha & her dad...and tears :)

Andy's toast, lots of smiles!
Me & Abby (notice the sweatshirts, 75-80 degrees was gorgeous during the day but it got chilly that night!)
Scott dancing with the beautiful bride.
Me and my "son"
Happy family after the reception!
We had such a FUN time celebrating with these two! They've already honeymooned and packed up and moved to California where Andy is now coaching. Congrats and we can't wait to come visit!
