A Beautiful Wedding and a Beautiful Weekend

This weekend we went to Gulf Shores for my friend Leigh's wedding. It was the PERFECT weekend for a wedding - the weather was amazing, the beach wasn't too crowded yet, and it was a great reason to take SK to the ocean for the first time. Mom and Dad were there for the wedding aslo, since dad was the videographer. When he gets the video highlights done I will have to post a link. The bride was gorgeous! The groom even looked pretty snazzy himself. :) Thanks also to Leigh for picking a really pretty bridesmaid's dress that I honestly do want to wear again. I actually had to stop myself from wearing it for Easter because I'm sure SK would have given me some sort of mystery stain that would not have looked good walking down the aisle of the church this weekend. Congrats to the new couple, and I am glad to say their plane made it through the valcano craziness and they are enjoying Italy.

The process of introducing Sarah Katherine to the beach took a little while. The sand was pretty chilly since we went in the morning so she was not having any part of it for a while. We finally got her comfortable with the sand and then she was ready to run all over the beach and did not want to leave! Here is the little cutie after our whole learning process.

Here was how we started the day - SK in my lap, and really all I could do to get her off my shoulders! She likes to ease into the new experiences I guess.

I LOVE this one! David took her next to the ocean for her to see the water and when the water hit his feet for the first time this is the reaction - SK laughing at him and David screaming because it's so cold!

No one tell her she has ventured off the towel! I guess the sand IS ok.

And finally - "see mommy - I can have fun in the sand just like you"!
