There really was a wedding in Seattle...I promise!

So first there are two pictures that I have to post that are proof that dads and grandpas are bad influences on little girls!

Here is Chris with Sam way too close to a beer. Wisconsin friends you may disagree but this is way too young to start tasting beer!

And here is Sam's second cousin Eva with a piece of prime rib way to close to her mouth! She took this right off his plate. Nice one Grandpa Steve!

Okay, now it is time for some pictures of the wedding, I mean it was the reason we went out there! Unfortunately Sam decided it was time to eat as soon as Lori started walking down the isle so I was not able to get any pictures of the ceremony. But here are some cute ones from after the ceremony.

Do you see the bow? Oh yeah, I did her hair!!

This is Sam with her second cousin Eva.

Uncle Craig, Chris and Sam.

This was at the center of the ceremony; between where the bride and groom stood and where we were all seated.
An up-close look at the flowers; isn't that amazing?


The bride rock climbing at the ceremony site after right afterwards. You can't see it but she was wearing chacos!! Don't worry they were white!

The most beautiful flowers. They actually got all of the flowers fresh from Pike's Place Market that morning. Just gorgeous.

So that's it, no more flipping through our photo album! I have to say that traveling with Sam though wonderful and so much fun, was also really stressful at times. I was always worried that her noises, crying, squirming or eating was annoying or intruding on other people's fun. It was also really hard to ask others to work around her schedule. It was a very hard compromise for us trying to do what was best for her but at the same time have fun and spend time with Chris's fun and active family. But overall Sam did great and never really got too overly exhausted or fussy even though she hardly ever got a real nap and her schedule and routine were totally thrown off.
