Summer of 2011 - Round 1

Oh, where to begin?! For many of you, this is a review (since you were there). Our big trip this summer, ok this year, ok maybe for a couple of years, was Buffalo, New York! Carter and Jen got married! HOORAY!

Right before the ceremony- the baby girl cousins:
(There is a secret baby boy who crept into this photo; he is making bunny ears).

The beginning of the public ceremony- Carter walks around Jen 7 times. I loved watching Carter's face during the wedding and really the entire day. You could see how much he loves her in his eyes and written all over his face. I snagged these photos from Krista- thanks!


Niagara Falls:




We rode the Maid of the Mist. Can you see us waving way down there?!
Family photo with the horseshoe falls behind us.
Lindsay sent us this photo. She called it is the cover of a Harlequin Romance novel. We laughed and laughed over that! Yes, the damsel in her sexy blue gown... wait, what? Is that a plastic bag she is wearing?!

Palmyra, NY
The printing company that first printed The Book of Mormon.



Do you see the cases above? Each little slot had a letter that they would carefully place on the page? to then roll the ink and print the page. The capital letters were in the cases above. The lower case letters were in the cases below. Thus we have "upper case" and "lower case" letters. Cool, huh?!


The Scared Grove
Very special. Wish we could have spent more time there.

The Buffalo trip was a very special time for all of us. The wedding was so nice, but the best part for me was having all of our children (and 8 grandchildren) together for 5 days!
I love the last picture of Rachel in the sling - she is so darling. It was so cute to have the three baby girls together, they are so sweet!!

Fun to see your pictures. Maybe Rowena's gown was at the dry cleaners?

Great pictures! It looked like a great picture. I'm not sure I'm aloud to read a novel with a steamy picture like that on the cover but I bet it's a great love story.

Wow! I didn't know you went to Niagra falls and Church History sites too! It looks so beautiful! What a trip!
