The second leg of this series of blogs comes forth from the waters of south central Wisconsin. Specifically the Dells, where our nephew Luke wed his sweetheart Rachel last weekend. It was a destination wedding/reception of sorts where the celebration took place at Noah's Ark Waterpark. The weather cooperated for the reception which followed the Friday ceremony and the day turned out warm, wacky and wonderful.There were special geographical tatoos and homemade Aloe Vera spray favors for everyone. the sustainabull theme carried throughout including the Equal Exchange Coffee, Teas and Chocolate that was available as well as other tasty chow. It was especially enjoyabull for Mary and I as we had our two daughters to relive some water park adventures of yesteryear as Callie and Ashley and I waited in some long lines for rides like the Black Anaconda, the Slidewinder and the newest ride the Scorpion's Tail, a thrilling blur of a vertical drop and 360 degree blast into the water that we did with waited on for over an hour with Mary's bros Mike and Joe. Luke and Rachel had a non-traditional wedding and celebration with many loving family friends in showing support.The After parties back at the Best Wastern where we stayed were also fun and memorabull. Ashley and I got to witness Rachel's "trash the dress" dive into hotel pool Saturday night. The dress appeared to be indestructibull as did the spirit of love that was evident all around.
Sunday, Mary, I and Callie drove Ashley back to Chicago on our way home as she spent a couple more days with her friends before she flew back Wednesday to Boston. Thanx again to Molly for the Chitown accomodations.
It was a long drive for a quick trip to a fun and an interesting piece of real estate there in Wisconsin and by way Luke and Rachel my wristbands are on day 5;). Sum Sum Summa Thyme Rolls on...............................
