Weekend in Okoboji

Another busy weekend has come and gone for us. Thursday after work (well after Chris got home from work, I was home all day with Madi) we went to Okoboji to start our weekend a little early. The girls were so excited to go the the water park, only to find out when we got there that it was not open that night, and didn't open until 4 o'clock the next day. I'm not sure who was more pissed off; me, Chris or the girls!!! We managed to make the best out of the night anyway, without swimming!
Friday morning Michelle, Griffin & Tate came over & went with us to another hotel's pool to go swimming, they all had a great time swimming. After lunch we had a little birthday party for Madison, she was so excited to show Tate her cake. (She only took it out of the fridge, by herself, 5 times before he got there, we are surprised that the cake did not end up on the floor!!)
Friday night my Mom, Dad & Ally came over to see the Birthday Girl too, we all had a fun at the water park. Madi got to go home with Grandma & Papa that night & spent the next day with them since Kayla had a wedding on Saturday.
Saturday was a busy day for Kayla & I, and a very relaxing day for Chris. (He got to lay around & watch football all day) Kayla loved getting pampered, we went and got her hair done and she got a manicure & pedicure from her mom. We got her into her beautiful dress & off to the church for picture all before 2:30. (by this time, I was ready for a drink!!)
Kayla was a candle lighter at her Uncle Jarrett & New Aunt Mica's wedding. When they first asked Kayla to light candles, I was a little nervous. (Kayla was only 6 and had never lit a candle, playing with fire was not something that we let her do!) But with a little help from her Dad, Kayla did a great job. We had a great time at the reception, Kayla loved dancing & listening to the live band (Chrome Union) She was to tired, she fell asleep in her dress!!!
