Wedding, Beach, Snow - Oh, My!

From snowy KC to snowy St. Louis

We got delayed in St. Louis. We were there for 7 hours ... it was spent drinking/eating in the Budweiser restaurant. We did get $200 each worth of credit to Southwest. That made the 7 hours worth it!

The view from our room at the Omni hotel in Champions Gate (Orlando) - where the wedding was. The pool was huge .... too bad we didn't get to put it to use!

Ready for the rehearsal dinner

The Bridesmaids, minus Kaitlyn and Kelsey (they had already gone nighty-night!)

Almost time for the wedding!

They had a photo booth - pretty sure we spent a good portion of our time in there!  The second one from the left has a blank on the first pic because Mark somehow managed to unplug the machine during our shots.

The happy couple

Keith, me, Melissa

Ryan, Brian, Mark

Clearwater Uncorked - it was a wine, food and beer festival. We had a lot of fun.  It puts the wine and beer festivals here in KC to shame!

More pics from Clearwater Uncorked

We had some awesome views from our room and the hotel.  Here are a few.

Some treasure found for the kids

Treasure Island - Madeira Beach

We got some great shells to bring home to the kids.  I even found four that had some sort of sea slug living inside.  They lasted all the way home on the plane so the kids got to "meet" them. They were nasty and smelled nasty too!

Great views from the plane on our way out of Tampa

Pic from the snow storm that occurred before our trip to FL.  Yes, we were happy to go to warmer weather!

Dying to go outside and play in the snow

Worn out!

Korinne has now figured out how to climb up in the tall kitchen chairs all by herself.  She is growing up way too fast!

Valentine's Day fun.  Kohen and Karlee both had parties in their classes.  They came home with tons of Valentine's Day loot!  The three pics on the top right are from this morning.  Happy one moment - very unhappy the next.  Not sure how it all went so drastically wrong in a matter of seconds but that is how it goes, I guess! I'm also not sure why Kohen and Korinne look like they are riding a roller coaster but at least they are smiling!
