This weekend we were in Red Bluff for Greg and Trisha's wedding. We were all a little worried about the dark clouds and forecast of RAIN for their outdoor wedding on Edwards Ranch... the ceremony was set to start at 4:00 on the ranch across the creek from the reception site. Heff and I helped Greg get some last minute details finished up for the party (it only took four of us and six different stores to find the right adaptors for the propane heaters!) for most of the day while Francie hung out at home with her Oma, Opa, Nana and "Great Grannie" (Heff's 95 yr old grandma who is up in Red Bluff now told me that's what she wants Francie to call her in case you Heffernan's are wondering who the heck I am talking about!) The clouds were looming and broke open in a downpour around 3:00... we all showed up at the ranch in rain gear prepared for the worst. Well, at about 4:10pm the clouds cleared and the sun peaked through! It stayed dry the rest of the night, made for a beautiful evening and we didn't even need the heaters :) We all had fun catching up with friends, enjoying the good wine and good food and Francie had a ball getting down and dirty with all the big kids at the wedding!

Francie found the windows and was cracking us all up!

Then she took a little tumble (aka faceplant) in the dirt but Madeline took good care of her and brought her to her mom for a cleanup

They made a playpit for the kids out of giant hay bales... the kids had more fun running circles on the bales but it kept them all busy most of the night!
