A June Wedding in New York

Last Weekend we travelled to upstate New York for my sister's wedding. It is always amazing to me that we can travel so far so quickly. I woke up in California, and went to bed 3,000 miles away in New York. Maddie and Jayd weren't able to come due to issues with school, so it was just the four of us. We had a great time. On Friday, we went to Niagara Falls with my sister, Krissy and her family. Saturday was monopolized by the wedding, although Jeff and I did find some time to sneak away and attend the Palmyra temple. Allie was a flower girl at the wedding, along with her two cousins, Ella and Eliza. It was her job to make sure that they went down the aisle. She took to the job readily, she just loves her little cousins! After an early morning downpour, the weather cleared and the wedding was a nice garden celebration. The party afterward was fabulous with lots of food and dancing. Allie was the dancing queen, dragging everyone she knew onto the dance floor! We stayed until midnight, which worried some of the guests with our little kids, but we figured, what the heck, it was only 9:00 in California! On Sunday, we headed out to Palmyra with the family. It was very fun to see the church history sights again with my family. We had a lot of fun chasing the little ones around, and hearing the tours from a different missionary. We were grateful to be able to visit these sacred sights again. It was a quick trip, but we had a great time seeing all of my family again. I think the best part was having hotel rooms next to each other, we just wandered from room to room chatting, talking and being together.
