Jennifer's 365 Project

Today is the little one's fist field trip. We visited a dairy farm.
He got to feed cows and see how they are milked. Lots of information packed into a few hours.

We met our friends at Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park. It's a private park with wild and exotic animals. I wasn't sure what to expect and I was a little disappointed in the focus on animals as entertainment vs animal conservation. There is some educational stuff sprinkled around, so that's nice.

The little ones had a fantastic time. Doesn't everyone love parakeets?
That's right - everyone loves parakeets!
After the park we drove over to our friend's house for delicious food and fun outside. It was 95 degrees out, but kids are rarely phased by the heat if there is fun to be had.
In the evening Chris went off to meet friends to watch Solo and we watched our own movie under a blanket fort.

Shelly & Jonathan were married today.  I worked with Shelly for several years at Sprint Nextel and have kept in touch with her since we both left there last year.

It's been a year of ups and downs for us both.  And today was definitely an "up" day - today Shelly got married.

Despite the rainy weather earlier in the week, today was a beautiful day for the wedding.  It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold.  Which is a great thing for an outdoor wedding.


True to form, Shelly put a lot of attention into detail and the decorating was how I would expect it to be - classy.  Shelly has always had a knack for pulling parties together and remembering the small details that tie everything together.

It was nice to catch up with several of the girls I would routinely have girls night with (which has more or less been on hiatus while the wedding has been in the planning stages).  There were a few current and past co-workers were there as well.

Overall it was a lovely wedding on a lovely day.

I have more pictures of the wedding, all taken with my palm pre, here.
