Wedding in the woods

The weekend after Katy & Ryan's wedding, my other cousin got married. Nate & Ashley decided on a "Wedding in the Woods" and we all traveled to Platte City, MO and spent the weekend at the Basswood Resort. The weather didn't quite cooperate for us to fully enjoy all the fun outdoor activities at the resort, but we had a great time with the family and will definitely try to go back to Basswood sometime.
Mom, dad, Lindsay, Jay, Chris, myself and our boys (plus 3 dogs!) all stayed in a 8-person sleeper cabin. It was nice, but VERY cozy...Lindsay and Jay got stuck sleeping in the loft and they had to lay down on the mattress to get dressed--there was very little head room. Carter on the front porch.Nate & Ashley had originally wanted to get married at sunrise on Saturday morning--outside by the lake. We are very thankful they pushed that back a little bit to 10am...even at that time, I think the temps were in the 30's! Brrrrrr. Luckily it was a quick 10 minute ceremony, and we were back inside for a delicious, warm brunch. Here's the happy couple... Carter and Great-grandpa at the ceremony.Asher snuggled up with Aunt Lou.My grandparents inside the lodge.Mom and Aunt Deb.There was a pool table in the lodge and Carter was fascinated by it. I think he sat and stared at the table for close to an hour while the big boys were playing.After brunch, we all took naps and Great Grandma and Great Grandpa stopped by to play with the kids.Asher thought they were pretty funny.Then we ventured back outside to the HUGE playground at the resort. It was still chilly, but never too chilly to play!Aunt Lou and Carter racing down the slides.Saturday evening we had a BBQ back at the lodge and enjoyed some more quality time with the family.
