A Tulsa Wedding

Mom's cousin Brad is getting married today!

We took a road trip to Oklahoma 

to join all the family in the celebration.

Mom and Dad got us a room 

at the Hard Rock in Tulsa.

We used the afternoon to check it out a bit.

We walked through the casino

(much to Jackson's anxiety and embarrassment)

with strict instructions to not touch anything

so we could make it over to Toby Keith's

for lunch

Then we headed back through the casino

(Jackson shrinking all the way)

to grab our room key,

take a quick family pic

and head up to get ready

Grandpa chartered the entire

Hard Rock shuttle

to take us out to the barn

for the wedding

(which appeared to be in the middle of nowhere)

But, wow,

was it worth the drive!

The lighting was PERFECT

for a whole bunch of pictures

After the wedding

and some food in our bellies,

it was time for the frivolity to begin.

There was spoon balancing

Some crazy party pics

and, of course,

a lot of dancing

 After a sparkler send-off

(which we weren't able to get on film--

there was a lot of chaos

in getting 100 sparklers lit

and one lady nearly unintentionally

sparked off a sparkler bomb

by lighting 50 of them in her hand

and one time...),

we grabbed our shuttle

back to the hotel.

The party didn't stop there.

Everyone changed into more comfortable clothes

(Uncle Steve and I happen to match in ours!)

and the adults headed to the tables

while we had a room party

with Grandma

complete with a whole lotta junk

from the gift shop.

Our 24 hours in Tulsa

definitely didn't disappoint.

Oh, and congrats

Brad and Tamara
from all of us!
