Beach Wedding and Wonderland

This weekend we celebrated Kelly Barnes and Evan English getting married!  It's always hard for me to describe who Kelly is to us.  He is Rhett's associate speaker, who came to work with us when he was still in college and is now running his own successful speaking company.  But he is also so precious to our family.  We tease that he is our only son but really love him like it's true so we couldn't be happier to be there when he said "I do" to Evan.  They are such a cute couple!


The wedding was on the beach in Pensacola, Florida. After driving though a hurricane (literally) to get there we had gorgeous weather everyday!


Rhett's speaking mentor and his wife, Bill and Karla Cordes, were also there so we got to enjoy a rare vacation together! The four of us dominated this delicious tower of sea food!! It was awesome!

Bill and Rhett spent the days golfing...


Karla and I opted for the pool and several good books!


Had to take a picture and even videoed this for the girls.  It was a giant hermit crab walking under our chairs at the pool!


On the ferry ride to the rehearsal dinner


 3 generations of awesome speaking talent!

The "speaking wives", Karla, Casey and I headed to the wedding


It was a wonderful get-a-way and the perfect wedding!  Congratulations Evan and Kelly!  


Meanwhile, our girls were staying in "Wonderland" also known as Mimi and G's.  They enjoyed waffle faces... 


Went to see some horses... (G, being so funny, texted me this picture to tell me the girls had just won a horse in a drawing at the Expo.  Hilarious G!!)


Swam....


 Played with the dogs....


And ate popsicles apparently all day! 


It was an awesome Labor Day for all of us!!
