The trip

So I have been a little too long in posting again, but this post will be picture heavy.
Consider your self warned!

Hunter and Stella are having fun on the plane and not even enjoying the view out the window. I was a bit ticked because I could spend the whole flight with my nosed pressed against the window. I am always in awe of the view from 31,000 feet!



Here is the view from 31,000 feet. Totally amazing!!


After landing and driving the 2 plus hour drive to my mom's place, my Auntie Cindi arrived shortly after and played checkers with Hunter in the backyard. I wonder who won?


Grandma Candy getting some love from Stella. Grandma was in heaven having all of her favorite girls there together at one time.


A picture of all the girls (except Stella). Me, Auntie Cindi, Sister Sara, Mom (aka. Grandma Candy)



The scenery in NC is so beautiful everywhere you look. All the mountains and rocks and hills. It's so different than Florida. This is a picture by Hunter, the view from the front window. You can see the grey gravel, that is the road that runs in front of the house.

While we were there Grandpa made a rope swing and put some boards in a tree so the kids could climb it. All the green stuff is Rhododendron (I think I spelled that right) and they were full of little buds. I imagine it'll be pretty when they all bloom.

Stella loves to pick flowers and nothing pink was safe. Especially those big tulips!

Hunter and Stella looked so cute all dressed up and ready to go.I think that they did really well. We had to kinda hang out while the pictures were being taken and then we had to be still and quiet for the ceremony and then we went to the dinner reception. Thankfully at dinner, my sister Sara had the forethought to have stuff for them to do. They had coloring books and some other goodies.


I didn't take pictures at the wedding because there were so many others taking pictures and I didn't think another flash going off would help things. Plus I can just get copies from my dad. This ONE picture is from Stella taking pictures and she happened to get a decent (for a 2 yr old) picture of the bride. Her dress was gorgeous.


I have more pictures from the day after the wedding that I will post another time.

Happy mother's Day to all the mom's out there!!!

Love it - thanks for filling my need for info! LOL! Looks beautiful - we used to have Rhododendren all over our yard in NY.

We had them too, in WV! It seems like any time anyone in our family had a graduation, we have a picture of them, in cap and gown, standing in front of a huge blooming rhododendren.
