After the reception, we helped clean up a bit and headed back to the Hampton Inn. All the relatives sat out on the patio and we drank and ate and visited all night together. The kids swam in the pool off and on. This was my favorite time of the weekend. Getting to talk with Ed & Dianne, Debi & Benjamin, Michelle & Clark and holding baby Reid, Laura & Mikey and charming Lilia, plus PJ, Kristine and Matilda and Suzie. K & Paul provided the cooler as well as some Applebees appetizers, plus we had leftovers from the rehearsal dinner. Mom and Rogerdale were in the fun, as was Terry, Chris, Cameron and Sydney. Luke was the photographer on the patio, and got a candid of just about everyone.That's it. It was just wonderful to sit around and visit for hours. Enjoying a few alcoholic beverages didn't hurt either. I didn't want to leave, and didn't until it was dark. It really had been a great day.
