Wedding #2: Missouri

This post is a long time in the making. I started it over a week ago but didn't finish it because all of the pictures from MO weren't on the computer yet. It took me until today to upload. Here's the description of the rest of our trip:

We flew from Los Angeles to St. Louis on Wednesday, July 2. We got in just in time to head downtown and catch a Cardinals game with Lynn and Ryan, courtesy of Ryan's dad Paul. We had a lot of fun catching up with them and getting to see the new stadium. Thankfully, we were sitting in covered seats, because a summer thundershower passed through early in the game.


We spent the next few days helping to get ready for the rehearsal and wedding. And visiting the Missouri Wall of Fame. That's me and Mark Twain. Yep, he's from Missouri. And famous. We were there while the Mississippi was flooded. It's on the other side of the floodwall--probably up to about Mark's shoulder. Good thing the wall is there.


Here's a picture of us all dressed up for the wedding:


And one of the school bus that took us from the wedding to the reception:


And finally, one of Ryan and Sarah and their wedding party:


The wedding was beautiful and we had a nice but short visit with family and friends. Overall, it was a long trip (11 days, 2 weddings, 5 beds slept in, 4 flights, and 1 lost suitcase), and while we had a good time, we were definitely glad to be back in our normal routine when we returned.
