Quick Re-cap of Boston and NH Weekend

During the first weekend in October, we flew with Derrick's parents and brother Tyson to Boston for his sister Meesa's wedding. Thanks again Mom and Dad Bowen for your generosity which made it possible for us to go!

We got to stay Wednesday night at my parents' house in Louisville and then got up very early to fly to Atlanta and then to Boston. Zach did pretty well on the plane but was exhausted by the end because he couldn't fall asleep. He didn't enjoy missing his nap times.

Andrew and Meesa were sealed Friday, Oct. 3rd. Jamon, Jean, and Tyson watched Zach while we were in the ceremony. Some of Andrew's nieces and nephews surprised them with some streamer shooters when they walked out of the temple.



Here's the whole Bowen family together (except for Ryan):



It was pretty cold and windy so we had to get creative with a blanket :)



At the luncheon/reception in New Hampshire there was a ring ceremony, lunch (obviously), and a cotillion. During the cotillion we learned the Virgina Reel. Derrick and I are at the top of the line and Jamon and Jean are in the middle.



Zach hung out with Grandma Bowen to watch while we were dancing. He looked pretty comfy.



Derrick got to fulfill his little brother duty and help decorate the car:



On Saturday everyone (except Andrew and Meesa) hiked up Mt. Major. Zach slept most of the time. He just woke up on the steep parts where we were climbing up rocks. At the top was a beautiful view of Lake Winnipesaukee.
