Weekend in Springfield, MO

We went to Blake and Whitney's wedding this weekend in Springfield, MO and had lot of fun!

Here, Maddie and Daddy go for a swim on our last day...

We visited a cave with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Julie, and cousin Eva...

At the wedding...

At the rehearsal dinner...

LOTS of pictures!

A lot has been happening since our last post, so here's some pictures in random order (Mommy can't seem to figure out how to load pictures right on this blog)

Doesn't look too comfortable.
But she can fit in the end space.
She can already hit 3 pointers!
