The Mann's treated us all to Chinese food (so very nice of them). I tried a little bit of everything and it was all so good.
After dinner we all sat around visiting while the kids got to play, then Crystal suggested we all play rock band. At first I just watched everyone, very funny. Scarlett sang, Ethan was on the drums and Nick and Crystal on guitar. It was so much fun watching everyone and man can Scarlett sing. :) Thank you so much for having us over it was great.
Saturday was a very very full day. At 11 we had to be to the park for Ethan's baseball game. The boys did an amazing job. Everyone got a hit and they really hustled out on the field. But we they got their butts kicked. Our team is made up of all 3rd graders (all but 3) and this is their 1st year on machine pitch. The other team is all 4th graders on their 2nd year of machine pitch. The game was unfair right there then you add that their coach had tough them sneaky, bull crap things to do. The official even yelled at the coach about the crap they were pulling. But I got to say the boys were amazing and played their best.
That night was Nick's collage friend Shannon's wedding. We hurried and checked into our hotel The Homestead and found out we had a double queen and couldn't get a king room unless we wanted to spend $60. Not wanting to spend more we just took the double queen. This room was not nice, it was just a little better than the one we stayed in at Karney Nebraska and that room only cost $65. We figured that since we didn't plan on staying in the room much it didn't matter.
The wedding was at the Zermatt resort in Midway. Wow it was beautiful. The wedding was outside with the mountain's surrounding us.
After the ceremony the guests sat on the patio next to the carousel having drinks and hos d' oeuvres while the wedding party had their pictures taken.
After this we went upstairs to the ballroom for the formal dinner and dancing. Dinner was yummy. We really enjoyed visiting with the people at our table, very nice people. Then the toasts, both funny, then the cake cutting. Both of them behaved themselves and their was no cake smashing. Dancing was fun, we didn't do a lot of dancing but it was so much fun watching everyone. I don't think that I have ever stayed to the end of a reception but we did for this one. We had so much fun I can't believe it. At the end we made new friends and now have even stronger bonds with the ones we already had. The next morning our new friend called and this is when we found out that the room we had must have been lead lined cause we had no reception at all in the room but if you walked outside we had full bars. So our new friend told us that his poor wife was locked in the bathroom because the doorknob had broken off. She spent 30 min locked in before the hotel staff was able to get her out. lol what a fun way to start the day.
We had a great breakfast, walked around the beautiful grounds then changed into our swimsuits for a soak in the crater. The crater was neat but not amazing, probably would of been much nicer if we had done the scuba diving. But now we can say we have soaked in the crater.
A super big thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Dragon for watching our children so we were able to go enjoy this wonderful night.
When we got to Dragon's we were able to visit with Mandy and her kids something we haven't done for quite a while. Its funny watching boys that grow up not being around each other and in different settings but they act the same and do the same things. It was so cute watching RyAnn holding Kaitllyn's hand trying to get Kaitlyn to come back on the grass. When they were getting ready to leave Blake asked them to come play at our house, he had so much fun. When we left Ethan asked when the boys would be able to come play again. I hope we can get together again soon.
oh the fun :)
