BW Day

Which of course stands for Batman Wedding Day. Maybe it should be ZBW: Zoo Batman Wedding Day. Hard to say. But if it could be as nice as yesterday when I took this shot in the campground, that would be fantastic. The campground, by the way has the 'full' sign out and it certainly appears to be. Besides the Batman Wedding, a lesser known event, the Drake Relays, is on in Des Moines and one of our camping neighbors is here from Nebraska for that.

The middle of the day we spent at the Iowa Events Center, otherwise known as Vet's Auditorium, decorating for the reception. Under orders from the management (Brooke), I am forbidden to reveal any of the decor before tonight. Suffice it to say that one of the tasks was to push glass beads down to stay in water. I would tell you more but I'd have to kill you. Or she would kill me.

Then the rest of our Texas contingent arrived and we went for lunch at Buzzard Billy's--in keeping with the zoo theme, they said. A quick trip back to the campground to shower and change (no naps for these old bones) and back through rush hour traffic to the zoo for rehearsal.

It is a lovely setting, especially if the weather holds. One of the best moments was when the bride was brought in, the bridesmaids had all donned mustaches.  Butch and I performed our parts (being escorted in by Nick) flawlessly. We finished the evening with the rehearsal dinner and enjoyed spending time with Jill's parents, the Ellers.

This morning, a break from the whirlwind and building anticipation. My coffee pot is full and there's a nice apple bread waiting for breakfast.
