Dinner with BaBa and BaBalou.

Brad is helping Lou carve a Virgin Mary for a manger set.

Brad caught 8 fish (in the rain).

Jessica's mom's country house is like a rural resort.

We went TP-ing in the suburbs...just like old times.

Visiting Great Grandma

On the Irondequoit Bay.

One opera performance was this song.

Keith's mom gave a toast to the grooms.

The chef came out for a bow and applause.

The food was amazing: tomato salad, heirloom beets, roast chicken, chocolate cake with mint creme fresh.

Opera singers performed some classic love songs from their favorite productions.

Keith and Darcy and their parents.

Then they opened the dining area with a million candles everywhere.

The reception started with cucumber ginger champagne cocktails, peach lemonade, and a ballet performance.

Cloé was pretty good during the ceremony except she yelled "yay" when the minister said that the couple had been together for a long time (people laughed).

My childhood friend Keith got married in Toronto this weekend.

We sang a trio of Happy Birthday.

I love oysters.

Oh yeah and this is what a bad girl looks like at the meerkat exhibit.

Last night we saw a meteor shower with Kathy and Ernie.

Zoo spirit

Everyone was very interested to pet the tiger pelt.

Cloe and Popop counted penguins.

Cloe pushed her way into the butterfly facade.

Coco was determined to get Popop's hat off during this shoot.

We took a trip to the zoo.

Papa Tom got a sticker attack.

Cloe was memorized by the big girls Irish dancing.

Brad and Cloe rested at the end of the events.

Then all the bagpipers and drummers gathered together and played in a mass band.

There was a red kilt clan and a blue group.

Hundreds of bagpipers and drummers came in.

The annual Scottish games where one event is flipping a log 180 degrees on end.

One more: Cloe always asks to be held by Marc.

A lost Chicago photo from Chuck E Cheese's.

Coco's first time in a bounce house.

Bubbles at the Henrietta toddler dance party.

Warm-up drinks at Hogan's Hideway before we got to this bleh work dinner.

Brad took me on a date to see Moonrise Kingdom.
