Isaacson get-together in Omaha

One of David's cousins from California got married in the Winter Quarters temple this past weekend. He married a girl from Iowa (smart guy!), so some of David's family took the opportunity to come to the wedding and see us, too! It was a quick little trip, but we had a lot of fun. Molly and Emma had a blast with their cousin Lily, and Brayden loved playing with Grampy. David and I enjoyed seeing Kevin and Mary again after 5 years. And even Heidi made it out! 

We started the trip on Friday with a long drive to Storm Lake, Iowa, where the reception was being help that night. We met up at Burger King so the kids could play at the play place while the adults chatted. We spent 4 hours there!! We had fun laughing about the slow service...it took 25 minutes to get a few ice cream cones!! 

After Burger King we headed to the reception and changed our clothes. David and I couldn't stay too long...it was getting late and we still had a 2 hour drive to the hotel in Omaha. But the kids had fun for the few minutes we were there.

The next morning we got ready to head for the temple. The sealing was wonderful. Afterwards we picked up the kids at the visitor's center.

Then we went to see the bride and groom come out of the temple. When he saw them, Brayden said "oh, look, there's the princess!" 

After the wedding we went to eat at a great Italian place, hosted by David's aunt and uncle. It was so yummy. Then we finally went back to the hotel to swim, which is what the kids were most excited about. 

The kids were so exhausted by this time that we put them to bed, then hung out with the family in their room. It was nice to just visit and talk. We were sad the next day when it was time go home, but at least we got in a few more hours of hang-out time. 

We hope it's not too long before we can see them all again!
