They Tied The Knot!

After driving up to Duluth, it felt like the weekend went by in a wink of an eye. Of course with all the family, friends, and other activities going on there was minimal picture taking on my part. I tried to get a few shots and steal some off of some other people too :)

The first day we got to Duluth was a bit of a "wake-up call" when it came to the weather. We left Minneapolis and it was 95 out and got to Duluth and it was barely 60. I'm not complaining, just a shocker! The area our hotel was in was really nice and perfect for walking around. We took Aspen for a stroll to stretch her legs and for us to see what was around.

Turning anything she can into a playscape--what a little monkey!

Thursday night wasn't to eventful. We went to a minor league baseball game, which lots of fun, although pretty cold for this Texan. Friday evening was the Open House/Groom's Dinner. It was nice to see all the family that had gathered together for Matt and Corry and catch up/meet their friends. I didn't know how Aspen would do, but she had a blast. She was the little social butterfly of the party! I don't think Jason and I had to do anything nearly the whole time. At the end of the night of I stole a picture with my brother, but Aspen was a little to exhausted at this point for any pictures.

Saturday morning we woke up and it was extremely warm that day in Duluth. So we decided to try to the beach on Lake Superior. We weren't planning on getting in the water since we didn't have a ton of time that day, but of course our little water baby had to put her toes in.

The dress eventually had to come off  once she really got into the water. The water was so cold so I surprised she was so willing to go in, but it was fun activity before taking a nap.

The wedding of course was beautiful and it was so great to see such a wonderful couple get married. I love going to weddings ever since my own because it takes me right back to the day I got married and all the emotions that go into it. I'm so happy for Matt and Corry and they threw an awesome party!

The next day we went over for a brunch at Corry's families house. Most of the day  was spent getting packed ready to leave. We did get one picture of the 4 generations that were at the wedding...My grandmother, my mom, myself, and Aspen. I think it's pretty awesome that Aspen has had the chance to spend some time with a great-grandparent. She did pretty well charming all of them too :)

We had a great time on this vacation and wedding celebration. I was surprised at how well Aspen was able to adapt to all the new places and people she encounter on the way. It did give Jason and I the feeling of, "We can do or go anywhere with her!". Congratulations again to the Duffy's!!
