we trekked to ohio to celebrate elee and jason's wedding . . .i had the brilliant idea of driving through the night on tuesday. i was on call, and so we didn't leave until after 8pm. luckily matt is a good sport about driving.
we borrowed my mother's honda for the trip.
we arrived in the wee hours of the morning on wednesday, august 1st. the drive was eerily uneventful (except for the short period when i drove, which apparently scared matt quite a bit).
riley's grandparents were waiting for us at matt's uncle paul's house in medina, ohio. paul & the grandparents babysat while matt and i slept all morning.
matt, john, and paul golfed in the afternoon and i unpacked the 600 lbs of luggage that i'd insisted on bringing. riley adjusted immediately to paul's spacious, clean, cat-free home.
wednesday night, elee's parents hosted a bbq. it so delicious that i brought home a steak to eat for breakfast the next morning. this is me, jason's sister rachel, and elee. elee was remarkably relaxed!
on thursday morning, riley, kathy and i went to the medina county fair. i can't figure out how to flip this picture, so it's going to be on its side. riley was very curious about the animals. here she is watching the pigs nurse. i think she's trying to give them tips on how to be more efficient.
on thursday afternoon, the elee's "maids" met for lunch--a mini celebration of tammie's pregnancy. we discovered this fantastic restaurant called thyme in medina, upon the recommendation of matt's family. then we decorated onsies for tammie while feasting on snicker's cake.
we all met again thursday evening for mexican food and mechanical bull riding . . . elee was a champion. i was petrified that she was going to be black and blue for her wedding day.
