Wedding in SD

I know, I know, I took a TON of pictures.  On the weekend we were able to spend time with my Dad's side of the family.  My cousin got married so we were able to see a lot of people over the weekend.  We had the wedding on Sat. where we danced our hearts away and then Sunday we took the kids to my uncle's farm.  They got to see chickens, turkeys and even feed the pigs.  It was quite the experience for my city kids.  :}  I had such a great weekend and I realized how much I enjoy being around family.  (aunt, uncles, cousins etc...)  My Dad came from a family of 9 kids so needless to say I have LOTS of cousins.  We saw them a bit growing up but we lived several states away so I was never really close to them and didn't get to see them as often as we would have liked.  It is fun now as adults to reconnect and catch up and see our kids be together.  Our baby cousins are now teenagers and our kids are now the babies.  (these pictures came in backward so you'll see farm pics first)
