Tangled up in the Oregon Summer

We just returned from a trip back to the homeland.  Brice and Sam tied the knot.  The wedding was absolutely stunning and a long week presented a much needed break a busy life, a time when old and new friends could cross paths.  There was a softball game, plenty of golf (sorry Beth), Lovejoy the photographer, the BIG Timer, TO, a best man speech, a beautiful wedding couple and of course, Pienovi, Cooper and Big Al.  The Oregon summer is a hard one to beat, with day temps in the low 80s and nights dropping into the 40s.  On top of it all it was pretty rewarding to take my daughter back the the NorthWest.

 Kyle and Grace discussing the finer points of life over a soda.  Shortly thereafter, a huge Gluten Free pizza was served.

 Playing at the infamous Grant Park.

 Rehearsal dinner with Black Butte in the background.  Look at my mom pulling off the 70s with style.

 Big Al, Brice, Pienovi, and Cooper.

 Mid day, wedding day photos.  I've never seen a meadow with so many turquoise dresses before.

 Brice trying to catch up to his soon to be bride and turquoise beauties.

 All smiles after the wedding.

 Grace, now known as lower case g, and my wife getting candid.

 What else would you expect Cooper to be doing at the end of the reception?
