Mr. and Mrs. Sean Flynn - The Wedding Weekend

Our little family just traveled to Duck Key, Florida...possibly the farthest spot in the continental USA from La Jolla...to celebrate Uncle Sean and (now) Aunt Julie's wedding!  The two flights and three hour drive were more than worth it!  We all had a fantastic time celebrating with family and friends, new and old.  Kaden and Harrison met their cousins for the first time and it was an instant connection.      Kaden had a great time playing with his cousin, Jake, and Harrison got lots of cuddles from Lauren and Kate.  We spent most of our time in the many pools at the resort because it was so very hot.  Kaden kept asking why he was so "shwety."  K also saw a snake, lots of giant iguanas, and more than a few mosquitos.  He has since decided that having an iguana as a pet could be a fun idea.  K also "lived through" two thunderstorms.  Having seen very few of these in his life, he was pretty scared of the thunder and the lightening.  It's such a strange phenomena to me that my boys are growing up where they are really oblivious to weather and assume that everyone enjoys a constant sunny and 70 degrees.  Kaden most looked forward to participating in the wedding itself.  We were honored that Kaden was asked to be one of the ring bearers and he felt his role was very important indeed.  He did a spectacular job and couldn't have been more proud of himself.  Overall, the weekend was a good one, and we are thrilled to have Aunt Julie as an official family member.

Kaden nervously observed the thunderstorm from the cover of the bar.  As soon as the couple began their first dance, the skies opened up! The resort was on top of it and immediately set up a reception site indoors.  During the change over, we watched the US score two goals against Portugal...definitely memorable.

Congratulations, Sean and Julie!  We couldn't be happier for you!
