To Washington for a reception!

I haven't had time to post these pictures, so they're from the first week of May, but here ya go! We headed up to Washington for Uncle Thomas' wedding reception on May 8th and spent a few days there. Here is Jack attempting to take a nap on the way. He looks comfortable enough.

And here we stopped at a rest stop about halfway there to stretch our legs. Jack's legs are rather short, so they didn't take long to stretch.

We arrived to see the big tree in Grandpa and Grandma Culwell's yard in full bloom. There were pink petals everywhere. Jack was a little confused, I think.

And here we are playing on of the Culwell family's favorite past-times: Bolf. This is a game involving baseball bats and golf balls played in giant field outside Grandpa Culwell's workplace. It was a nice day and Jack actually got a little sunburned on the top of his head. I guess he needs to wear a hat!



Here is Jack completely engrossed in playing with the grass. We tried to call to him to get him to follow the group, but he stayed behind. Come on, Jack! (We have no idea who the "winner" of the game is, by the way. I don't think anyone was keeping score...)



We all worked up hearty appetites, so we went to a Mexican restaurant, Azteca, after the Bolf game.



Here are Mommy and Jack at the restaurant. Jack ate some refried beans and chomped on some ice. For some reason, that boy just loves ice.

Here are the bride- and groom-to-be. A very handsome couple, I must say.

Uncle Thomas and Aunt Ana with their nephew, Jack. (Jack is chewing on chapstick, by the way. I don't know why...)

This is Jack standing on his great-grandfather's trunk. He has learned to climb on things quite well now, but can't always get down. He took a few tumbles from this trunk while we were there.

Jack and Daddy wrestling on the floor.

Jack wrestling with a giant stuffed bear named Michael.

And that's the end of that trip!

The reception was beautiful, with wonderful food and lots of fun people. Congratulations to Thomas and Ana!
