J.D.'s Graduation Party and Bobby & Emily's Wedding

J.D.'s Graduation Party and Emily Hjelvik & Bobby Ritter's wedding were both on Saturday.  Of course, because events that you really want to go to always fall on the same day.  :)

We stopped by in the morning to give J.D. his present.

They really had the garage looking festive!

Do you like the life-size cut out of J.D.?

We were asked to be one of the two sets of Host & Hostess.  J.T. even had a boutonniere.  :)  He wasn't happy because Uncle Todd made him put down his tool box for the picture.

J.T. with his tool box.  He brought it so he could fix things if anything broke.  :)

Emily & her dad, Dave.

Dave officiated Emily & Bobby's ceremony.

A very happy couple and a very proud father!

We gave J.T. a Bible for Easter.

The church we attended had an Easter Egg Hunt after church.

Back at the house for dyeing Easter eggs......

......and swimming in the pool.

Monday we drove to Cocoa Beach.  J.T. thought the ocean was great!

Tuesday was a full day at Disney World's Magic Kingdom.....fun, fun, fun!

Wednesday we spent the afternoon at the Oasis Club at the complex where the house was located.  J.T. did Build-A-Buddy-By-The-Pool and made Ted E. Bear.

We ate lunch at one of the umbrella tables.

And swam in the Lazy River.

Thursday we played mini-golf at Pirates Cove.

Raking for Great Grandma A
