Easysticks – by Annie Jo Cain

Another weekend away! This time up north. The rain stayed away for the most part.

Peter manhandled the grill.

Laura sent him loving encouraging smiles.

Chris and Amanda picked a few blueberries for dessert.

Had to put on my muscle tee for blueberry picking. You know. To get rid of the farmer’s tan.

Escape from the city! Look at me out in the nature!

Now it’s back to sweltering and computers.

As per usual, I’ve selected a number of pictures featuring me, me & me.  And some other people.

Take a look at many, many more pictures

Katie and I strategize for the big day.

Looking our best.

Brother, mom and me preparing for our entrance.

Cousin Nate plays a tune.

Moms and champagne.

Chatting it up with Katie’s mom.

Hugs from Oliver!

Eating sliders with Evan and Lana.

Eating cake.

Mom gives the whole thing a thumbs up. Marika and Chelsey heartily agree.

Many, many more pictures.

Before heading into the zoo, sandwiches!

First up were some zebras.

Followed by elephants.

They hadn’t had their lunch yet.

UPDATE – Mom asks and she receives. Supposedly her favorite animal, I present the giraffe. Who knew they could bend down like that?

While we wait for the real deal photos, here’s just a little taste of the big day.

Making my entrance.

Me and Katie during the ceremony.

My dear mom and me, having a laugh.

Ben and Oliver take care of throwing rocks into the lake.

Katie and I enjoy some cake. I was stuffed by the end of the night.

Thanks to those whose photos I nabbed. More to come!

Cayman. Loved it.

Katie loved it too.

Sunset sail (thanks Hadley!).

We sat on the cargo net.

They’re so cute, I think we’ll find room for them all.

Thanks Ben, Marika and Oliver! See you soon!
