After a strenuous day of breakfast, pedicure, lunch, trip back to the pedicure place to get the Kindle I forgot, and naps, we joined son Pat and bride-and-groom-to-be, Brooke and Nick for a trip to Ames to deliver great-grand dog Taco to his weekend babysitters. The zoo, where the wedding will take place tomorrow, has a silly rule about not allowing pets. What kind of zoo is that? Then supper at the Pizza Pit with Melissa and Bruce, two of the wedding party.
Here the father and grandfather of the bride discuss the important stuff, like "WHO'S PAYING FOR THIS????" As usual, we ate too much and returned to the camper very glad to see our bed.
Meanwhile, things were bustling at the campground. The place started filling up yesterday. Our 30-foot trailer now looks like the 'little engine that could' in the midst of several monsters that have pulled in around us. But the shrubs are in bloom and this morning the sun is even out!
I must say that these pines provide the prettiest backdrop to a dump site that I've seen in any campground. Today we will journey to the reception site to decorate and many more relatives will be arriving. Rehearsal at the zoo tonight and then dinner. It is supposed to even be warm enough to show off my new toes.
At all times, though, in our thoughts will be our dear friends and camping buddies who lost their oldest granddaughter earlier this week to childbirth. In Shelbe's memory, we will give Brooke an extra hug, knowing how important it is to cherish these moments. None of us ever know how fleeting they might be.
