Gotta Bounce

Our friends from college (Catherine & Todd) came out with their two boys for a wedding right here in our home town. Even though they live in the Boulder area, we just haven't been able to get together. I'm pretty sure that we literally haven't seen them since their wedding, so it was really great to get together and catch up. It was Catherine's brother's wedding and he was kind enough to let us crash the family welcome banquet and hang out.

This is the only picture I managed to get of all three kiddos together. Norah, Joe (behind Norah) and Luke (on the right) were so hungry that they actually sat down at the table without being asked (or told). Amazing!

We almost got the cutest picture of Norah helping little Luke. He wanted to step down off the patio and into the grass with her, so she held his hand and helped him down. But the camera took too long to turn on. So I guess you'll just have to imagine it.

The wedding was being held at a beautiful guest ranch that we'd actually never been to before. There were cows to look at, a pond to throw rocks into and plenty of grass to run and play in! Unfortunately, I got absolutely no pictures of any of those things. I was too busy counting heads. Ever notice that when there's more than one child they naturally run in opposite directions? Yeah, that happened a lot.

The easiest way to get pictures was, of course, to put our tiny tornado in a cage. Fortunately, the bride and groom had thought through the kid containment issue pretty well. They provided a bounce house!!

Needless to say, Norah was having so much fun she didn't even realize that she was caged like a circus animal.

Norah had so much fun with the boys. She keeps asking when we're going to see Yuke and Joe Joe again. Looks like we might have to take a little trip to Boulder!
