Wedding Day for Faith and Andrew

 Something got into the tomato plant bed. Yesterday one of the plants were completely uprooted and laying on it's side. I replanted it, today what ever is digging didn't uproot any of the plants just dug a hole.

Since I was ready for church and didn't want to get my hands dirty I left it. That poor plant is just not growing very well. We picked up Aunt Jinnie and Becky first and they were already outside waiting for us. Next we picked up Rhonda and got to church just before 9:30 am. It was wonderful to see church full and hear so many happy voices fellowshipping before the service started. Dave Huette was visiting from Tremont and had the morning message on Psalm 1 and John 15. Click HERE to watch that. David and Craig had the marriage message. Click HERE to watch that. I admit to getting emotional a bit. What a week this has been. After the service Mark picked up Aunt Jinnie, Becky and I from the front door and we went straight out to the fellowship hall to get ready for the reception. Aunt Jinnie and Becky were put on making the icecream punch. 
Diane and I got out the fruit cups Beth had prepared for us and set those out. There was another crew working on cooking the chicken strips.
We were all kept busy and by 2:00 pm when the line started there was a quick scramble to get everything on the table and ready. 
The sauces were for the chicken strips which were not pictured.

We were all pretty busy. I was washing trays from 2:00 pm until 3:15 pm. When someone came to take my place Amy and I went through the line and ate our meal before going up to see Andrew and Faith. We were waiting in line when I looked out the window to see 7 of my grandchildren chasing a baby bunny. They caught it.

Rhoda took the pictures below of Faith and Andrew getting ready to taste the cake.

Mark and I took Aunt Jinnie and Becky home but stopped at the parking lot to check out the car.
The kids were passing out bubble wands for the guests to blow bubbles at the new married couple as they left. Below Amy is blowing bubbles at us.
We got home a little after 4:00 pm. Sarah and Nolan along with Brian and Rebekah were here hiking the trails. A big branch had fallen across our second drive while we were at church.
I changed my clothes then went out to tease mares and was disappointed to see Basilea and Thalia were still in season. As we didn't cover them yesterday they had to be covered today. Basilea was covered first by Valiant then Thalia covered by Evan. Once they were fly sprayed and put away I took the golf cart over to mom's where the grandchildren were playing on the beach. They were busy burying Jordan.

Later we all migrated up to the fire pit. It was too hot outside to think of lighting a fire so we just sat around and visited.
Ruth brought a kite for the kids to try out as it was breezy.  Below is a short video of some of their fun with that kite.

They played with that for quite a while before going to the volleyball court to play games.
Around 8:00 pm the party started breaking up. I stopped in at the barn to check the fridge and it is still too cold around 20 degrees inside. That was turned off and hopefully by morning I can turn it back on. What a good day! The wedding and reception were very well attended. The church and fellowship hall were FULL!
