Work before play...

Before heading off to Sea World, we had to "prep" the wedding flowers that were shipped in from Salt Lake.... Thanks for the help Shelly!! Thanks for the buckets Carly! Thanks for the storage space Mom! :) {And thanks to Mandy, Jodi and Tricia for hauling the flowers over to the reception center the morning of the wedding!!}

LOVE all those orange flowers!! :)

Sea World...

A couple days before the wedding we had the chance to go to Sea World with most of my family.... I didn't get any pictures of the kids [except one of Etta... and the one I stole from Mandy below :) Haha!], but it was so much fun to be there with everyone! What a fun day! Shamu rocks! And Corky was pretty cool too! Troy feeding the sea lions...
Gotta love the dolphins...
Etta Jane.... awwww.... I miss those cheeks! XOXO
Polar Bears look so cuddly.... but....
Sea Turtles.... love them!
Manitee Rescue... the poor things were so mangled... made me want to cry....
Beluga Whales

Sandcastle Contest

Almost forgot the sandcastle contest at Big Corona.... very fun to see!

Pumpkin Patch

No October is complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch, and a trip through a corn maze! Troy and I had a wonderful time hanging out with everybody and participating in this fun activity. And this was a pretty cool pumpkin patch, if I do say so myself. Brad, Madde, Shelly, Meri, Hunter, Ede, Etta, Jen and Luke

Feeding the ducks at Tewinkle Park

The pre-wedding week fun continued with feeding the ducks at Tewinkle Park, followed by a nap for the sick soon-to-be-groom. :)
