Ruth's Wedding Part 1

This past weekend, all of the family except for Andrew and me traveled to North Dakota for my cousin Ruth's wedding. I would have loved to go and take pictures at the wedding, but oh well. :)
Ruth and Michael

"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife." ~Author Unknown
Grandma and Grandpa Rogers, Ruth, and Michael

Ruth looked very pretty! It was neat how she had fiber optic stems in her bouquet.

Memorial Day

On Memorial Day weekend, we went camping at Lake Le-Aqua-Na. Andrew did not ever end up spending the night because we had to work, but we went up every night. It was a lot of fun! :)
the bigger one of our two tents

Day 1
ummm...... I'm not sure what Aaron is doing..
or Mom.

Alec is so cute!

This is hilarious!!! :) Alec did this all on his own. I think he was pouting because he was told not to get out of the pack-n-play.
Since he couldn't get out, he hung on the edge.

Alec loves to swing!

playing some frisbee
And of course playing in the creek! :)

Alec really loves to play in the water!




Alec had a blast throwing rocks into the water!


It was an uphill walk back to the campground.
relaxing

Day 2
More creek time!








Day 3
They saw this huge turtle along the side of the road!!!

The boys wanted to swim in the lake.
wrestling :)
I think Anthony won! ;)



It was a nice, relaxing weekend spent with family, and we all really enjoy camping!
