California: Going home

These were the last pics taken when we arrived in Chicago on Saturday. It was a long trip, but a memorable one. A lot of first times for Kingston. First time on a plane, first time in California, first time at the ocean, first time at a Disney themed park, first time at a wedding, first time showing off his awesome dance skills. We had a lot of fun, hopefully we'll go back someday!

California: The Reception

Well this was my favorite part of the whole trip. And I think Kingston's too. Although we were a little impatient to start. We got there at about 4:00, took some pictures and waited inside at our table for things to begin. The Reception line started at 5:30 and then the polynesian dancers started at 6:30. They were an awesome group and very entertaining. They called for some volunteers and dad being the brave man that he is went up there and I thought had the best dance moves out of everybody. It was hilarious. After that Sean and Christy had their first dance and then Christy danced with her dad and Sean danced with mom. Very emotional. They danced to What a Wonderful World. They had a little photo slideshow playing on two large screens, that was pretty cool. After the dances we ate. The food was Hawaiian and it was oh so good. They cut the cake and threw the bouquet and garter and then it was just a dance party after that. Kingston was soooo funny. He was dancing out on the dance floor pretty much the rest of the night. He had a circle around him and was going crazy. It was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. It was a great reception, the best I've ever been to. It was classy and lots of fun. So here are the pics of the event. Enjoy.

California: Wedding Pics

Here are some of the unprofessional pics that were taken during the taking of the wedding photos. Kingston was very impatient along with his mother. Next step-the reception.

California: Newport Temple

These pics were taken at Newport Temple after the ceremony. Kingston met up with Ashley and they were pretty much inseparable after that. They had fun running around and playing together. Christy looked beautiful and her bridesmaid dresses were so cute. Sean and Christy looked very happy and the temple was gorgeous.

California: Rehearsal Dinner

These pictures were taken on Thursday night during the rehearsal dinner at Ruby's Diner. A hamburger joint which was quite tasty. It was a really fun atmosphere. We ate on the top of the restaurant that looked out at the ocean. During dinner we saw dolphins swimming alongside a boat, it was really awesome.

California: The Davis House

I didn't get many pictures of the house, I didn't want to look like a wierdo. But here's Kingston playing with Missy, their dog and with some of Peter's old toys. He just made himself at home.
