Gross Wedding

The reason we were on Cape Cod in the first place was to attend the wedding of a close family friend, Geoff Gross. We had never been to a beach wedding before, and to tell you the truth, Daddy wouldn't mind going to weddings if they were all that way. No uncomfortable pews, the ceremony is short, and you can plop the kids on the ground with some sand toys! Also, it's not often you can acceptably go barefoot in your Sunday best! Of course, Darin had a diaper blow-out right as things got started, and then returned from changing him just in time to see Gavin not quite make it to the potty, so Daddy didn't really see that much of the ceremony. But everything was very nice. Here are a few snapshots from the wedding.

The restaurant that held the reception was just up the beach from the ceremony, so we didn't have far to go. The Leister/Holderman/Kint clan had a table together, and we all had quite a feast. raw oysters, cheese & crackers, clam chowder, Steamed shrimp, lobsters, and mussels, barbecue chicken breast, and much more.

We had our hands full keeping Gavin out of the cake - that's all the poor kid wanted. They cut it early in the evening, but didn't serve it until quite late. Finally at about 10:00, Gavin sobbed, "Daddy, can you just take me home?". Mommy dropped us off back at the hotel and he was asleep in about 10 minutes. Mommy did remember to bring a piece of cake home for both of us, which we ate the next day.

The D.J. was quite good, and since more or less everyone from out of town, the crowd stayed late. Malin found a twenty-somthing friend who was willing to dance, and just had an absolute blast. The pictures below were from 'Wooly Bully', and 'The Twist'. Daddy fell asleep with Gavin, so I'm not sure what time the party ended, but it may have been after midnight...
