Wedding road trip part two (the wedding!)

Saturday we spent the morning running around the hotel grounds like we owned the place - back and forth to Grandma and Grandpa's 'house' meeting up with whatever other family wandered in and out; the boys had a great time. After lunch we drove to the church in Grace for the blessed event:

Rachel and Taylor's wedding! 

(pictures straight-up stolen from Jared's facebook. Thanks buddy!!)

The ceremony was so beautiful, even from my vantage point of off to the side, bouncing Jack on my hip :).

Then it was time for visiting, pictures, and a luncheon!

Jack threw one of his classic, on-the-floor-despondent fits about George's cookie, so his sweet cousin went and got him one of his own. Jack popped up off the floor (and into a chair) SO fast!

We realized that we had 10 out of 11 of Grandma Thomas' great-grandchildren in attendance, so we herded them all together for a picture:

(left to right): Clyde, Eli, Will, George, Lily, Bri, Grandma Thomas, Mallory holding Jack, and Courtney holding Raelyn. Just missing Anna.

It's fun to think about how big this group will grow in coming years - right now Chuck and his siblings contribute all but one of the great-grandkids, but I'm sure there are plenty to come from the Thomas cousins and Gray cousins!

At this point I let Courtney have the camera and get some awesome candid shots for me:

Cousin Nickie, cuuuute Clyde, Aunt Sue holding baby Raelyn, cousin Lehi and his wife Brei, and the gorgeous Rachel with her mom and aunt.

We still had a couple of hours before the reception, so a few of us packed up the kids for an adventure in nearby Soda Springs, but before we exposed the kids to water/dirt/etc, we sneaked into the primary room to get some quick pictures:

On the one hand, it's probably a little ridiculous that my boys' wedding attire is less formal than their regular Sunday attire, but they just look SO cute in shorts! And the crocs made the cut because packing them multiple pairs of shoes sounded like a lot of work ;).

Still to come: drinking water out of the ground in Soda Springs, the reception, and spending Sunday traipsing around Chuck's family's land in Thatcher...
