EKJCLFortner: Wedding Weekend

After our fun filled week with Ella Kate we all loaded into the car again and headed to my cousin Lana's wedding in Hays, KS. Hays is a small town in western KS where my Dad grew up. It was about 8 1/2 hours from McKinney. On the way there we stopped in Wichita to break up our trip. We let the kids swim and ate hibachi and krispy kreme donuts (yum!). The kids were really good in the car...Thank God!!!

We made it to Hays on Friday early enough to swim at the pool with the big blue slide. It's so funny b/c Hays has this one hotel with a HUGE blue slide that twists you around and around and then dumps you in the water. The kids absolutely LOVE it. We've stayed there a lot. I believe in the times we've stayed it's been a Days Inn, a Holiday Inn and now its a Ramada. The rooms aren't exceptionally nice, but they do have poolside rooms and they do let adults drink around the pool (woohoo!)...works great for us!! Between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning the kids swam a total of about 12 hours. They had a blast swimming with all the cousins! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the blue tube...I think I was having too much fun hanging out poolside!

The wedding was really fun! Schmidt weddings are always fun and I'm sad to say this is probably the last one (boohoo!). Lana looked fabulous! We are so happy for her and Kyle. We had a great time at the dance !
