Look at this tired little girl! Megan suggested a nice little walk along the Erie Canal. You know, just from Pittsford to Fairport. I'm always up for a walk, but she didn't realized it is an eight mile journey (one-way). And, unlike Chicago, there's no El train back to the car. So, we took 31F and some back roads back home and we took a break on the front lawn of the Monroe Golf Club.
The Pittsford Regatta. Just a few crew boats out that day.
I didn't ever see this growing up in western Michigan. Jet ski racing, maybe...
A tribute to the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh, who is from Fairport, New York. Never read the book, but now I feel I have to since she's a neighbor.
Pier at Webster Park on Lake Ontario
Webster Park from the pier. Don't let the picture fool you, this is during a very severe thunderstorm. In fact, the whole weekend pretty much looked like this with dire predictions of heavy rain. So much for plans...
Candid Megan!
MORE WATERFALLS!
Hank's Ice Cream in Webster. Megan's favorite ice cream and for good reason!
MORE WATERFALLS! This time in Corbett's Glen
Did you know there are a lot of waterfalls in Rochester?
The sand dune
MINNIE FOUND A HOME! Apparently, her new home is her old home. I don't understand the whole story, but she's got a place to live.
One cat leaves and two takes its place. Please adopt him!
She's available too. And, this one needs to be watched because she likes to chew cords. So...
That's it for now!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST! The final batch of wedding photos. Thanks again to James Schuck for the pics. Thanks again to everyone for making it such a wonderful day. If you want any of these pics, please let me know and I'll send you the originals. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Just an average day in the life of Ronan Carroll
I'm "shooting dice," Roddy is wobbly, and Ronan plays guitar in the band! "IT'S RAININ' MEN, ALLELUIA! IT'S RAININ' MEN, AMEN!!!!"
The party was so awesome that these glasses were dead after the party. I found out about this in Portugal and they are buried in the beautiful beach sand of the Atlantic Ocean. RIP USA Olympic sunglass I found on the CTA...
Sarah looks scared. Maybe she thinks I'm the bad guy from "The Matrix"
THE SKYCOASTERS! http://www.skycoasters.com/ Again, a completely awesome band and I highly, highly suggest checking out their promo video on their website. It sold me!
Who needs a wedding cake when you have an ice cream buffet?
Mary is making moves never seen before on the dance floor by our friends and family
Katie being nice to me because I just got married and she has to
Never left the dance floor...
Megan coming to make sure I'm not harassing to many people while dancing
I have to steal this guy's moves.
Erin is confusing my family. "I don't recognize her, but she dances like a Kraus..."
OLE!
Ronan bullfighting Marisa on the dance floor
Richard Bell Sr.
Practicing for her own wedding in the spring
Drew needs no practice for his wedding. He's a pro!
Mike: Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy. I feel so good I could spit in Potter's eye. I think I will. What did you say, huh? Oh, maybe I'd better go home.Where's my hat? Where's my... [Megan takes the hat from Uncle Mike's head and hands it to him] Oh, thank you, Megan. Which one is mine?
Megan: The middle one.
Mike: Oh, thank you, Megan, old boy, old boy. Now, look –– if you'll point me in the right direction... would you do that? Megan?
Megan: Right down here.
Mike: Old Building and Loan pal, huh...
Megan: Now you just turn this way and go right straight down.
Mike: That way, huh? [begins singing, then a crash is heard] I'm all right. I'm all right. [singing] "...the sweetest flower that grows . . . "
Old Building and Loan pal...
Little known fact, I am the best singer you've ever heard. True and Tachel (Rachel) doesn't have to ask her Aunt Megan if it's "really true."
Look at all that hair
Brides should not punch their bridesmaids...
YEAH!!!
I should have worn this instead of a tux...
Dancing with Grandma Kraus
Aunt Maureen. Believe it or not, we're not Italian...
Noah Hopson in a practice run for his Awesome wedding in Michigan
Glamour shot!
Phil playing coy
In hindsight, they should have been our dancing stunt doubles...
Eric: "I didn't know your husband played in a terrible punk rock band. How bad was he?"
Megan: "The worst: songwriting skils of Sesame Street, guitar play of a fingerless man, and the angelic singing abilities of Sid Vicious."
LIMBO!!!!!!
DOUBLE LIMBO! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! WHAT DOES IT MEAN! DOUBLE LIMBO!!!
The party's over. You don't have to go home, but you can stay on the blog. Thanks again to everyone. We hope the wedding was as much fun for you as it was for us. THANKS!
Megan and Mike
