Trip to Ottawa

We're just home from a fantastic weekend away in Ottawa. We had a wedding to attend in Port Hope, Ontario and so we made a long weekend trip to Ottawa of it. Reese had been talking for WEEKS about "David-airplane" so needless to say, it was an exciting time for Reese. The kids played hard, all weekend long. Everyone got along great and Reese's affection for David only grew stronger:) The plane ride was a breeze compared to what I was expecting......but don't get me wrong......it was still a handful (I had to laugh when Mark accepted the morning newspaper that the flight attendant offered him.....never quite got that read.) But all and all, both Reese and Hunter were as good as gold. Mark and I even managed to have a kid-free day. When we went to the wedding which was about a 2 and 1/2 hour drive from Ottawa, Shannon kept Reese and a good friend of ours in Ottawa kept Hunter. My only real worry was Hunter since he's only been taking the bottle for a week. I'm happy to report he sucked back every bottle without batting an eye and even  spoiled Jodi with a 3 hour nap after I'd assured her he'd only sleep for 45 minutes at a time. So of course we were thrilled that everything went as well as it did. I slacked a bit in the picture department, but here are a few gems.

The farm where the wedding was hosted left us speechless and there happened to be a spectacular sunset that night. So here's a rare picture of Mark and myself at the wedding:

Shannon arranged a get together with our 2 cousins who live in Ottawa and their kids. It was an absolute ball! We tried for a picture.......9 kids......this is the best we could get. And I must mention Stephanie, the oldest, who wasn't able to be there:(

Hunter's first plane ride:

Clearly enjoying himself:)
