This weekend Mom, Dad, Chelsey, Drew and I all piled into our family minivan and headed out to Burlington Iowa for a wonderful wedding shower weekend! Our weekend was to celebrate these two cute kids getting married on June 29th!
The showers were for the girls only but the boys came with us to see where Alex grew up! The only people missing were Jackie, Sam and Eli. We missed having them with us. It will be fun to have us all together at the wedding!
We got to stay in a beautiful hotel that is attached to a fun center. Inside the complex there was a water park, spa, casino, restaurants, a gym and much more. It was a really fun place to stay! On Saturday we went to the first bridal shower downtown right along the Mississippi river. The shower was a duel shower for Rita and Alex's cousin Bri that will be getting married too. It was such a fun shower!

At night the whole family got together and went for pizza. It was so much fun to meet all of Alex's family and experience Burlington. We even got to see the family bar and drive down snake alley in the minivan.

Then on Sunday we headed to Rita's second bridal shower. We got to meet more family and had lots of really good laughs together. Everyone made us feel so welcome!

| For Rita's gift I painted three state canvas for their new house. Each with a heart for where they grew up and where they will be going. Gothenburg Nebraska, Burlington Iowa, and Colorado Springs, Colorado. |

| I am also really good at shower games! Look at all my loot! |
It as an amazing weekend with friends, family and lots of food. I feel so blessed that my sister is marrying into such a fun and supportive family! It is going to be one fun wedding! Two months and counting!
