We drove down to Rochester on Thursday night and stayed at my parents' house to break the trip up a bit. The girls just love visiting their grandparents house! We spent a little time hanging out with Grandpa on Friday and then headed over to Quincy.
Our hotel had an indoor pool, so we had a quick swim after checking in. We had a pizza party at the hotel with the rest of the fam Friday night and some play time with all the cousins. On Saturday morning, we took all the kiddos to a place called Going Bonkers. It's a huge play place with tons of climbing and slides. Perfect for wearing out a bunch of kids!
After lunch, I went to the wedding ceremony while Matt got the girls to nap. That night, we all walked across the street to the reception and the girls had a blast dancing and eating cake! I think they only stopped for about 20 minutes during the speeches and first dances (because we corralled them and made them sit down!)
They had an on-site artist painting a picture at the reception. The girls and I went over to watch her paint and she added them to the picture (the pink and blue smudges on the right). Something else cool about this picture is she painted in my uncle, Kelsey's dad, who passed away five years ago. He's next to her left shoulder between her and my aunt, Pat.
They also had this picture and prayer sitting out at the wedding and reception.
By the time we got back to the hotel, the girls were exhausted! On our way home the next day, they slept a ton in the car. And they are NOT car sleepers. Maybe 30 minutes usually. We had to wake them up when we got home! They did say the ride went by really fast. Ha!
