Wedding Fest
Shoot, a whole week ago now (time's been aflying!) was wedding fest. Pretty fun, Sam, Hagen's boss has a ribfest annually that's a kick in the pants with all sorts of shenanigans and ribs and stuff. Well, last year since he and Jill got married this year had to be something different.
So, all the relatives and friends showed up for weddingfest. Pretty fun. Take note Mary Ellen, I put in a vote for a white wedding cake and Sam's mom did up a totally awesome one! I didn't get the memo that it was at their old cabin rather than the new place so Abby, Miriam, Jessie, and I walked to the new place and then back to Jessie's house. Nice walk but way cooler to be digging into the food so off we headed to ribfest. It was pretty hopping of course by the time we got there.
After arriving the fun continued. The yellow jackets were out in force since there was so much meat to be had. They've been everywhere this summer (the outdoor dude at the paper has a lame article about them today) but made for a pretty good show:
That's Jill's mom and Greg doing battle with the forces of darkness. The kids scampering around with swatters were funny, too.
Greg and his wife have the coolest poodle. It was totally standing up to all the other big dogs all night long just running around as the littlest king.
He had a good night scoring scraps from everyone, too. I can't imagine what Sunday was like at that house.
But, pretty much a family affair. Here's Eric, the other photographer and his cool worldly baby making the rounds:
Since it was a bit more than ribfest there was a band and stuff. They were pretty neat and I always enjoy a good chance for some clapping.
Later, after things were quieting down Jill's sister and some other folks got in on the act and did a couple songs. It was pretty neat, too.
This one cracked me up, a bit of syncronized gaping going on here:
So yeah, another pretty fun night as you might expect with so much food and merry making.
Oh yeah, Abby's the coolest by a mile. She's awesome anyway but check out her handiwork here, it's a beer cozy. Pretty sweet.
Well, more to come in a bit... finally almost caught up...

My mom's going to love the fact that she made it on your blog. I shut down the comments on mine again, for a day or two, to teach my dad a lesson. Don't egg him on, Bob. The dogs are good. Margaret keeps calling Marais, Mordor, so I'm going to teach Marais to sick balls (Chopper?...stand by me?...nothing?)This is going nowhere. Have fun!
That's awesome. He can come over here if he gets bored. Mordor, what kind of dog name is that? No wonder they grow plants! well, back in a few...
Thanks Robert/Bob/Robbie-Bob! for sure it was a cool weddingfest. Your pictures captured the true spirit of the day (and night) - The place was a-"buzz" with easygoing fun,lots to eat and drink and laugh at.
I didn't get many rib requests after Greg swatted a few yellow jackets right on the cutting board.
I witnessed Frosty first hand scare off a few big dogs and a few big people too. Go Frosty!

That's awesome! a-buzz, to bad I don't have a trap set sound on cue on the website for stuff like that ;)
Frosty's cool. What a championship little dog! Never got a front end shot of him though so we're stuck with his little caboose.
