A Grayton Saturday

Saturday was not a very sunny day, but we still enjoyed a day on the beach.  We are so blessed to have such a great family to celebrate all life's milestones.  

A Grayton Wedding Day

April 4, 2014

Jessica and Ryan's wedding day went beautifully.  There were a few moments of worry as dark clouds rolled by, but it proved to pass on by with minimal showers.  It was a neat experience to be on the beach in the house where the wedding was taking place.  We enjoyed the beach the first part of the day and then starting preparing for the wedding.  

Due to Amanda's bedrest, Chance, Logan, and herself were unable to make the trip.  Before the wedding we Facetimed her and walked around the house.  She was able to see all the decorations and set up.  Then at wedding time we called again so that they could be "at" the wedding.  It was very sad to watch her have to see her brother's wedding via Facetime.  Although, I am super thankful for the technology that allowed her to witness the event.

Rehearsal Day

Today was a great day on the beach.  The sun was warm and we were able to play and enjoy the sand.  After a day full of beach fun, we all got dressed for rehearsal and dinner.  Since the wedding is going to be simple there was not much to rehearse tonight.  It was a great excuse for a big dinner.  We had some yummy filets, shrimp, and fish off the grill.  Big Daddy and Jon did a fabulous job with all the grilling.  Dinner was gorgeous with the sun setting in the background with the water.  It was warm enough that we were able to sit and eat on the decks and watch nature's beauty.  The laid back atmosphere gave way for easy introductions and getting to know Jessica's family.  Ryan's Grandma and Grandpa even made the trip for the wedding.  Late in the night, Grandma even got in a game of dominoes with everyone.  I think we are all excited for the wedding tomorrow.
