Wedding Weekend

This summer Riley's little brother Chance got married. The wedding was on a Saturday in northern Utah, and there was a rehearsal the Friday before, so we decided to get a hotel room and spend a few days in the Salt Lake area. We had Friday to take care of last minute wedding stuff, and the ceremony wasn't until Saturday evening, which meant we had most of the day to play. Cabelas was having a special kids day, where they had a "pond" set up outside stocked with fish for the kids to catch. After they caught a fish, they would cut it, clean it, and cook it right there so the kids could eat their catch. Boston loved it! He kept saying "fish, I catch it, I eat it." He jumped up and down and giggled every time one of his cousins caught one. Then Riley helped him catch a fish of his own and he was crazy excited. He even sat still long enough to try a bite or two after they cooked it. After that, we moved the party inside the store to see the bears and try a shooting game ("I shoot it"). I'm not sure who had more fun, Riley or Boston :-).

The cupboard at the hotel was a big hit with these crazy kids

After a quick trip to the hotel pool, it was time for the wedding. Since daddy, uncle Kody and Eric all had them on, Boston didn't even throw a fit about wearing a tie. It was a beautiful ceremony and thanks to a smart mama who packed a bag full of bribery (candy), Boston was really good (though not to happy to pose for pictures).

The reception was lots of fun with yummy food and a fun photo booth. But since he had been too busy playing to take a nap, after a few hours Boston's was done. I don't think he smiled in a single picture! Thanks to an uncle who happened to have a suit coat pocket full of bouncy balls, and cousins who were happy to give Boston a new one every time his got lost, we kept playing until the party was over. Then we changed Boston into his pajamas and he crashed hard on the way back to the hotel.

Overall it was a great weekend, and we are so happy for Chance and Britt!!
