Friday the 8th was an absolutely lovely evening... we went to Lindsey's house for a wonderful backyard gathering for the rehearsal dinner. The weather was perfect, and there were fun lawn games set up around the property... croquet, bocce, lawn darts (which Uncle John wisely confiscated soon after small children arrived. As an aside, aren't those illegal? Or something? Cause people can impale each other? Just wondering)... And of course, the moment we arrived, Violet took charge and invented her own game.
You had to roll (throw?) the ball and hit the post. And if you did, you got Bonus Points (or was it a free turn?). I am not sure, but the other kids totally loved it.
Especially this cutie. She is so adorable I can't stand it.
And this kid. Who took my baby and replaced him with a dude? WHO???
There were plenty of Sisterly Love moments...
And beer :)
I love my sisters! :)
AND I also love toothless babies!!
Meanwhile, as we are all enjoying the gathering, I noticed that across the yard there assembled a group of British folk, with the bride and groom in the front row. With a "program"... from the "show." And, indeed, there was my daughter and her cousin, performing some sort of magic/variety show for the crowd. I believe this scene was called (and I am not making this up)... "Girl Running Fast."
The Brits were ever so polite, however, and appreciated the entertainment.
But the best entertainment of all? Fireflies at dusk. Here Riley has one in his hand... and Violet caught a whole jarful. And Melinda got to experience seeing and catching fireflies for the first time. There is something completely magical about them. It was perfect.
Tomorrow, the Wedding Day :)
