The Arizona Wedding

Last Thursday, the four of us flew to Phoenix, Arizona for a Wurdeman family wedding. We spent four days in the sunshine attending the rehearsal dinner, hanging out with our cousin Trevor and dancing at the wedding. The kids had a great time! The rest of the family is exhausted!

Our flight took off around the time Sammy usually naps. There was so much going on that she was unable to settle down to sleep on the plane. Once we hit the road in the rental car, she was out. It is hard to tell because of the sun in her eyes, but she is drinking her milk sound asleep.



The kids LOVE hotels. Andy remarked on several occasions "this is quite a hotel".



Friday morning we took the kids to the park to take in some of that Arizona sunshine. Sammy loves the slides.

The ceremony was a beautiful outdoor wedding. We kept the kids busy with snacks (as Andy is demonstrating) my phone, the diaper bag and books. Sammy is always far more entertained by my phone and items in the diaper bag than her own things.






At this point during the ceremony, Andy took over as the wedding photographer and spent the remainder of the wedding in the aisle taking pictures. Here are two of the better ones. As you can sort of tell by the pictures, it was a beautiful ceremony full of color, ritual and tears.



At some point during the photo session, Andy put his little finger print on the lens because all of the pictures taken after that point have a smudge in the middle...oh well. I'm counting on the rest of the family for some good shots!

Dancing

Flying home. Andy's favorite part of the whole trip was predictably the airplane. He was quite excited to learn that drinks and snacks are served on every flight. In this picture, he has his seat belt on both himself and his buddy Tata to keep them safe.

Trevor loved having his cousins Andy and Sammy out to the house for breakfast and playtime. Plus, taking them to the park that we spend alot of time at. Hugs and kisses being sent your way from AZ!
