3 Orangeleaf Trips and a Wedding

   Last weekend the Mullers headed to Lex Vegas for my cousin David's wedding.  It was a short little vacation, but a much needed one.  We got to spend time with not only my out-of-town family, but Matt's as well.  One of the highlights of our trip was eating at The Outback where our cousin Mary Taylor works.

   We decided to do it right and booked a hotel with a two bedroom suite and kitchenette and a made to order breakfast.  And of course an outdoor pool.  Now as most of you other parents know that when you tend to "talk up" something as exciting as a hotel with a pool to your kids... for some reason things tend to not measure up with your carefully thought out agendas. 
   The pool was closed... too many chemicals.  Green hair, burning eyeballs?  No problem I told the guy behind the desk.  No way he said back.
   My brother and his family came to the rescue and both families went shleping downtown to play in the fountains.  Best idea ever.  Pool, schmool.... huge fountains are the extreme way to get wet!!!




   The absolute best part of the weekend was David and Sabrina's wedding.  It was held out in a beautiful vineyard and everything was perfect!  Great food, great music, great family!  The best part for me was getting to watch Caroline through it all.  She sat so contently on her Daddy's lap watching the "prince and princess" get married.  Everytime Sabrina walked by in her georgeous dress Caroline had to say hi to the princess.  Even Charlie got in on the fun dancing the night away!  After the DJ spun "Sweet Caroline" we decided that Neil Diamond can never not end the night on a bad note and we bid our farewells at 11 o'clock!  I couldn't believe my kids lasted so long!  Fun was had by all.  Congrats Baby Dave... I couldn't be happier for you!
