Memorial Day Weekend



















We had an action packed weekend yet again. On Friday, we drove to Indianapolis to visit Trevor's old boss and his family, Ron and Jane Evans. We were all awed by our tour of their new church called Traders Point Christian Church. It had its own indoor park full of tubes to climb through, a mini rock climbing wall, and a fenced in area for four-square and basketball. It was super cool. The kids had a great time playing. The church itself is humongous and serves 4000 people each Sunday. It was quite impressive. We were happy to see that the Evan's family is thriving down in Indy. We had a great time catching up with them.

On Saturday, we headed down to Bloomington to spend time with Trevor's family before celebrating his cousin, Brittany's wedding on Sunday afternoon. As usual, we had a great time visiting with Uncle Todd, Aunt Traci, Broderick and Brittany. We were excited to meet Elliott, Brittany's fiancĂ©, now husband. He is a great guy and appears to be a perfect complement to Brittany. 

Their wedding was beautiful. It was all outdoors on a farm. The reception was inside a really nice barn. The decorations were perfect. I wish they had pinterest around when we got married. I would have had a blast. Traci had made these huge twine balls out of vines she had found on their property. She filled the balls with white lights and they hung above the dance floor along with the mason jar chandlers they had made. Each person received their own jar of the Schmitz' homemade maple syrup as their little gift. It was the perfect country-themed, outdoor wedding. 

Kaylee had a blast dancing the night away with Daddy. We took some time to try and get some good family pictures and were pleased with the results. The weekend was filled with corn hole, swimming, good food, and good company. What more could we ask for?
