A Trip to Florida!!

We were so thankful that we got the opportunity to go to Florida to visit the fam. Scott, my bro, was graduating from the Florida Police Academy. What a perfect excuse!!! It was again, hotter than snot, so we did very little other than run through neighbors sprinklers while we were on walks, hit the backyard pool, and one afternoon at the beach. Pretty good for a quick 4 day trip!!!

Hughes Wedding

We traveled to Wisconsin for Scott's cousin, Brad's, Wedding. It was supposed to be a 5 1/2 hour drive that turned into a 7 hour drive. Gotta love 65N and Chicago traffic on a Friday afternoon!! Thankfully, the kids did really well. We are again singing the praises of the DVD player!!!!! We were really hoping that being that far north would have given us some relief from the heat...but no such luck!!! HOT HOT HOT!!! We stayed at a golf resort, so the boys had fun playing a round, while the kids, nana, grandma Hughes, Aunt Sally and I enjoyed the park and then a dip in the pool. The wedding was held on the golf course, under 2 big weeping willows, next to a pond. It was beautiful. The bride and groom had lots of special, personalized touches. After the ceremony, I had to take the opportunity to take some pictures of the kids in the "wedding-best" on the course!
