When Erin came back from school one day announcing that she was going to be a flower girl in the wedding of her teacher Jenn, we thought she meant for a mock wedding at the school. No, she meant the real deal, which happened to be held in Connecticut near Dave's parents' house. We love weddings and the timing was perfect as a kickoff to our big summer vacation. This year we linked our trip to DC with a swing through Atlanta/Kentucky. It was a great trip.
Teacher Jenn and Erin have formed a special bond during Erin's two years in the preK class
With Tessie safe in Grandma Joan's care, everyone else dressed up for the party
Champagne before the ceremony began - nice!
When her time came, Erin performed her role with a look of determination on her face that we rarely see.
Mission accomplished
The girls were so excited to see a real-live wedding
The two party girls
Now they know why there are always coins in fountains
Poor Erin had been up since 6 AM sooo excited. She arrived to the hairdresser at noon and was crashing hard by evening, hence the grim face during the ceremony at 5. She slept through the whole reception like this.
Caroline stayed up
Daddy got a brief dance with his girl
Thanks so much Jenn, and AITC staff!
The next day in New York was filled with the usual fishing, swimming, and animal captures. This year Caroline figured out flip reel casting and landed her first solo fish. Dad took the girls on a mission to land a turtle and came back with this little painted one.
More Somers wildlife - Erin's remainder of an ice cream cone was irresistible to this guy. Problem was, Erin & Dad were still outside fishing when he showed for his snack. We gave him a wide berth.
Caroline caught the first bullfrog
Mom kept waiting for the frog to make his break. Tessie babbles in agreement.
Returning from the hunt
