Audrey's first time to attend a wedding

This morning we attended the wedding of these two friends, Melissa  ad Dave.  They had planned on an outdoor wedding but due to rain it was moved inside and brunch followed at the Mariemont Exempler.  Just beautiful!

Waiting for the wedding to start.

And Miss Audrey starting to ham it up for the camera while we waited for the ceremony to start.

She really enjoyed the harpist.

Melissa made rose bouquets for all the ladies including Audrey.

A family picture we will most likely use for our post placement review which is due in a couple months.

The harpist kept A entertained while we waited for pictures to be take prior to brunch.

We brought Audrey's pink bear which she loudly announced "bear" at the brunch.  Lots of fun!

Feeding the Ducks and 1st time to visit the Butterfly Show @ Krohn

Today and Thursday are the only days when it is predicted not to rain during the day ... so I decided to take Audrey to the Butterfly Show.  We left early to feed the ducks at Twin Lakes before the show.

Feeding the ducks or as she calls them ga ga.

The ga-ga's

Pretty Twin Lakes.

Pretty Krohn Conservatory.

I could not get a good picture of Audrey on the Butterfly Bench as all she wanted to say was "blue", her favorite color / word at the moment.

Kelly, one of my co-workers cracks Audrey up every time we see her.

And Dave H is a favorite too.

We are going to Dave H wedding tomorrow!  Topic for another post.

Kelly brought over a B-fly for the kids to see.

Miss A ... ok I'll hold it.

Get it off.

Random cuteness around the showroom.  This year's theme is Butterflies from Brazil.  This is the 16th annual show.  Audrey particularly liked the music and I thought the color and design was great.

And Val is so much fun. 

These pictures don't really show it but these girls were dancing.

Hunting Easter Eggs in Hinkle Garden with neighbors

Sunday afternoon was our neighborhood's 4th (or possibly 6th) annual Easter Egg hunt in Eden Park across the street from the Conservatory.  This area of Eden Park is called Hinkle Garden and is a beautiful section of a cluster of magnolia trees.

Each participating family donates a dozen candy filled eggs the week before and then we brought potluck lunch for a big picnic.  The little kids start the hunt first.

Erin F. gave an egg to Audrey.

As did this little neighbor girl too.

Audrey's first picnic lunch!

The lineup for pictures.

I think my hair makes me look a little like Diane Keaton in this picture.

Afterwards we walked up to Twin Lakes to feed the ducks.  This is the new playground they are constructing adjacent to Twin Lakes!  Super timing for Miss Audrey.  Speaking of timing and summer happenings ... Mt Adams successfully raised $32,000 to keep our pool open this summer!
