Wisconsin Invasion

First...CONGRATS to Jordan & Kailea Schmit! They were married last Saturday. It was crazy hot that last weekend (highs in the 116°F range), but their outdoor wedding was greeted with a slight breeze and some sprinkles from a passing cloud. It was a little warm for Rohan (all pimped out in his tux) so Mara and I hung back inside. We snuck out a couple of times to catch Mara's Aunt Lorrie played violin, and Jordan's friend sung a song he wrote on acoustic guitar. It was an awesomely unique wedding, and we were really glad to be there for it. Jordan & Kailea are an awesome couple and we wish them the best!
Rohan was missing his Grandma Holly so she flew down to see him, coincidentally there was a wedding this last weekend. :) Rohan really enjoyed the time with Grandma, but I think Grandma had even more fun. On Friday, Rohan and I picked her up from the airport and it was hard to separate them the rest of the weekend. She did share nicely at Heather's since he was passed from person to person, with no objections from him. He cheesed and charmed everyone he saw. Mara had to work at the clinic and Rohan got to spend ample time with Grandma and family. After Mara got off we took care of the dogs and headed to Heather's for a rehearsal dinner (which was AMAZING!) and followed that up with some much needed pool time to beat the heat. We had a little side show with Holly and Heather having a Hula-Hoop contest, in which Heather demonstrated her Hula skills. Heather won the World Hula Hoop Championship in 1985...:)
I golfed with family & wedding party friends on Saturday at the San Marcos resort. I played like crap, but my group consisted of John's brother & sister and the Best Man Frank. We had a lot of fun, and i got to meet some great people. Mara had to pull clinic duties on Saturday so after golf I took the dogs out, picked up Holly & Rohan and then Mara before heading to the wedding. The mill the wedding was at was perfect. The temp was so hot, that they moved the bar inside. While we were moving the 12 packs of soda they had gotten so hot the glue on the boxes began to melt and the boxes fell apart. Ever see a hot soda fountain? They lost probably 2 cases of soda to explosions! Never even thought that would happen, but the heat is intense! The reception was a ton of fun. Rohan was all pimped out in his tux and he had constant entertainment from everyone. He continued to cheese and charm until he passed out. He was a trooper all night.
Sunday Mara and I went back to Heather & John's to visit. I went and played John's home course, Vistal. The course was in amazing shape for the heat. It's right at the base of South Mountain in Phoenix, with awesome vistas of the mountain and downtown Phoenix. We went to supper at the Armadillo Grill and Rohan got some more snuggle time with Grandma before she headed back to WI.

It was a great weekend, with the promised 1000's of pictures, well maybe not that many, but a lot.

Sunday night we had a nice thunderstorm. Rohan had flashbacks to the 4th of July:
