New Jersey, Wedding, Birthday, and Baptisms!!

The LIMO Ride w/ the Bride!!!

I decided I better hold true to my word and get this post out on the blog. The kids and I are currently in Corpus for Gammy/Sea Camp week. We have had a great time and I will have to do another blog next week to post all the good things about Gammy Camp! Let me back up first to our trip to New Jersey.

We were in New Jersey a few weeks ago for Johanna's wedding (Scott's cousin). We had a great time and the weather was unbelievable. For those of us from Texas, anytime we can escape the 100 plus temperatures it's a welcome relief. We walked the boardwalk along the Jersey Shore, this is where Uncle Charles lives, took the kids to the midway for lots of rides, went shell hunting along the cold east coast beach, stayed at a B&B for the wedding weekend, ate lots of great seafood, and enjoyed lots of family time together. I took a lot of pictures so I had to post some of them to share. The kids got to ride in the limo on the way from the B&B to the church. They saw it pull up in front and were so excited just to look at it. They didn't know they would actually get to ride in it at this point. When everyone was outside and Johanna said they got to ride with her to the church, they couldn't believe it. Thanks Johanna! Let me just say that they still like to talk about the famous ride in the limo. This is a big deal to a ten and seven year old.

We got back from Jersey on Tuesday and next up was celebrating Stephanie's 40th birthday in Austin and celebrating Austin and Braden's Baptisms. We left on Saturday and headed to Temple for the Hagler family reunion. This is Brenda's side of the family. After the reunion we went to Austin and got ready to go eat at ZTejas for Stephs celebration dinner. We had a great time celebrating and the kids enjoyed playing with their cousins. Sunday morning was the big day for the boys. They were baptized together at church and we were all there to support the family. Here is a picture of all the kids together after church and Steph with her birthday wine glass.


Well since I wanted to add so many pictures this blog post has taken longer than expected, over an hour. There should be a faster way to insert pictures and move them where you want them. Needless to say we have had a busy summer and lots of travel this year. We have had a great time and this week has been a much needed relaxing one for me at least. The kids will be wiped out after camp. We have done lots of fun things this week so next blog will be about Gammy/Sea Camp!
