Congratulations, Emily and Brian!
I spent this past weekend in Minneapolis, celebrating my cousin Emily's wedding. I arrived Thursday night, and enjoyed a busy weekend of wedding gatherings and family visiting. Technically, there were 13 Savages attending, including the notorious Four Savages.
I woke up Friday morning to my two energetic little nieces -- a great way to wake up! Friday evening was the rehearsal dinner, which consisted of a nice dinner
cruise around
Lake Minnetonka
with great views of the sunset. Unfortunately, my camera died early
on, but I was able to get a few good shots of the fam. The fun
continued at
Maynard's, and I wish I did have a camera, because I could have captured Brian's impressive cartwheeling skills.

| Sadie feigns sleep, looking very dramatic |
 |
| She helped me take this shot of Brian and Macy |
 |
| So, of course, Macy had to help me take one of Brian and Sadie |
 |
| Family shot before we get on the boat. (Just ignore my closed eyes and my arm amputation. Everyone else looks great!) |

On Saturday, I enjoyed another fun morning with the girls, then lunch with the rest of the Ohio Savages. Then, we all headed
over to the home of my Aunt LeeAnne and Uncle Harry, where the wedding
took place.
 |
| The girls enjoyed going through my suitcase |
 |
| Clearly, they had lot's of fun :) |

My aunt and uncle hosted us again for a really nice brunch on Sunday,
before all the out-of-town guests had to head back home. It was a
perfect opportunity for a giant family photo, including all the Savages,
former Savages, significant others, and related families.
 |
| Plus a few more... |
 |
| Grandma Savage, the Savage sibs, plus grandchildren, great grandchildren, and significant others |
 |
| Baby Harper, Doug, and Aunt Sam |
 |
| The weather was beautiful, but very hot in the sun, so the twins made sure to stay hydrated. (I think they were mostly just excited to be able to hold the glasses and drink all on their own.) |
 |
| Aubrey and KC, affectionate and agreeable siblings as always |
