Grandpa Jim got married!

We left Apple Valley a day early to get to Grandpa and Holly's wedding! It was held in a gorgeous gazebo in the Rose Garden. The ceremony was beautiful but it poured. I mean, lightning, thunder, wind, rain, the whole bit. Everyone kind of chuckled as we all moved closer to the bride and groom to prevent being rained on. Luckily, the storm was short lived and it brought the temperature down enough to enjoy the outdoor reception!!

At the reception Jimmy and Skylar made some new friends and played on a huge playground behind the pavilion. Then, after dinner, Skylar danced and danced. She didn't care whether others joined her or not.. just twirled like nobody's business! 

Jimmy was the only one in our family who ate a piece of wedding cake! I really regretted my "healthy" decision later that night!

Later in the evening, we all danced some more and had a great time just being outside and listening to good music. At one point, Hang on Sloopy was played and Skylar informed everyone that she was not allowed to dance to "that" song. When the next song came on, she asked me if "this song is okay to dance too." That made Jim's year! The kids did awesome and we were able to stay until right around 11 before Jimmy "hit the wall" and needed to go home.
