So, we’d gotten up about an hour before the start of the wedding. I started to get ready, while Dave was ironing. We’d wanted to get ourselves ready before getting the kids ready. I’d done everything except change my clothes, then Peyton started to stir. She came in to potty, then went back to lie around. We only had 30 minutes by this time. Since she was more awake, I changed her first. Brandon was out cold. He wasn’t moving for anything. So we got ready around him, then with 15 minutes, Peyton and I headed out. It was great staying at the same place as the wedding. We didn’t have to go very far. We signed in, and we found a place to sit. Not soon after, Brandon and Dave joined us. Brandon was very subdued, and calm, which was great, since the wedding was running behind. It got started about 30 minutes late, but it was short, and we didn’t need to break out the snacks or phones. The guests were given programs with a small tube of bubbles. Both kids were told to wait until the ceremony was done before blowing them. Peyton was obsessed with shooing the gnats away from the chairs. I think they are used to being at weddings, and were pretty well-behaved. After the ceremony, they did get a little nuts. They were having fun with bubbles, and since it was a grassy area, they got to roam around a bit. They had a great time with Abby, and once their bubbles were done, they calmed down a bit. Brandon didn’t have his bubbles for awhile, since he’d put them in my bag and they disappeared in the bottom somehow, so he just sat at popped and goofed around. Later, he did find them, and started bubbling all over again. We found our table, and got seated, but we weren’t seated with the cousins. We sat closely to them, but still, not at the same table. The kids received their fruit plate, which they both inhaled. Each kid had a goodie bag with a small deck of cards; Brandon got one for war, and Peyton’s was snap. They also had candy, which I quickly confiscated. Their entree was mac and cheese, which I felt badly for Peyton, since she’d already eaten the same mac and cheese for lunch. We busted out our own broccoli, and even shared some with the twins sitting at our table. The kids ate that, and then took turns on the ipad. It was getting pretty late, but the dessert table was not yet open, so we decided to go take photo booth pictures.
After we were done with pictures, we got in line for the dessert. Dave and Brandon waited, while Peyton and I waited at our table. Abby brought over a blueberry mochi creme and set it down on our table in front of Peyton. She was so shocked, she didn’t say anything, and Abby quickly returned to her table. I had Peyton go thank her before eating it. She did, and returned to eat it. I took 2 bites from her, to taste it and help her finish it. Later, as Dave was closer to the front, we joined up with them. We tasted all of the samples they had. It was all yummy! It was at this time the dancing started. The bride and groom are both avid salsa dancers, so they are both very graceful, and most of their friends are as well. The dance floor was filled with graceful dancers, dancing to mostly 60’s music, like “Tequila” and “The Twist.” I grew up on these songs from my parents, but our kids have never really heard the songs before. That didn’t stop Peyton. She came up to me and looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I asked her if she wanted to go dance, and she nodded! That was unheard of! I told her to go ask Daddy, and she walked up to him and said, “Daddy, will you take me?” He didn’t really know what she was talking about until I nodded over to the dance floor. Dave did, and this is what she did. When she was out there, she didn’t really dance. She was happy to just watch at the edge of the dance floor. We decided it was time to head out. There were a fair number of kids, and they all lasted about the same time. It was a little after 10pm, and since they had done decently there up until that time, we didn’t want to push our luck. We said our goodbyes, then headed “home”. I’d previously asked Peyton, “Which bed do you want to fall off of tonight?” She had picked the bed closer to the wall. She’d not wanted any pillows, so I’d thrown them all in between the bed and wall to build a place for her to fall if she did. I managed to make the pillow stack almost reach the top of the bed. I reminded her to keep close to me to avoid falling off the bed. I think she took it literally, since she was almost on top of me all night long. After Brandon fell asleep, Dave came over to our side, sandwiching her in, but she was moving around too much, so he took off, and let me handle things. I’d set my alarm for 730am, even though Dave knew the kids would be up before that time. We’d wanted to get an early start but wanted to meet up with the cousins before doing so. So we agreed on heading out by 8am. We’d packed and got everything ready the night before, so when I got up, I quickly changed, then got the kids up to do the same. Again, we had to wake them, but figured they’d sleep in the car. We all met up, and once we’d arrived, were told that we had to race another family since we’d only be seated once our full party was present. Jeff and Penelope came to tell us, while we yanked both kids out and started to run down the street. Peyton was yelling, “Go faster, Mommy! Faster!” I was in flip flops and carrying her, so her request was nearly impossible, as I was going as fast as I could. We got there, and luckily, the other family had not. We were all seated together, with Dave and I facing either other, having one kid next to us, then we did the same-aged kid in mirror image so that all the kids were next to each other. 
They all enjoyed playing together, with their Wikki stix and coloring supplies. We ordered for them, and ate breakfast without incident. Peyton earlier had asked us is Penelope was going home with us. Brandon had wanted to make sure we were having breakfast with Abby and Penelope. We ate within an hour, and were soon headed out. Penelope had also asked if she could go with us, but she was convinced that her shorter drive would be easier for her. It’s really fun that they are all of similar age. We hit the road by 945am, and were planning to power through until after we got out of the city. The kids were both falling asleep before 1230pm, especially Peyton, and then I started playing the alphabet game with her. Brandon was doing workbook pages, and then asked, “May I play with you?” So we all played, and Dave got us to our destination. We got our burgers, made just for each of us, and then ate them in YL. We got some fro-yo after, then headed out with tummies full again and bladders empty. Soon, the three passengers fell asleep, and it was a quiet trip for the driver. Peyton slept for awhile, then got up, looked upset that she was awake, looked around, then fell back to sleep. She later woke up about 30 minutes from our destination. We made it all the way home until we stopped for dinner. We made it in a little over 7 hours, with the help of the Lexus lane that we decided was worth the $5 to pay to save an extra 30 minute detour, and only one stop! Glad we could coordinate all the potty breaks and make it home safely.
There were some notable sound bites from our drive.
