At the dinner the night before the wedding, the twins met A LOT of relatives. It was a little overwhelming, especially for Penelope who is suffering from a little stranger anxiety these days (ok, she's been dealing with it since birth). Penelope did eventually stop crying, although she never really cheered up:
Parker, on the other hand, found comfort in potato salad:
The highlight(s) of the weekend were the many dogs with which the twins got to interact; they both love dogs. In the following picture, Parker is watching Tory's Aunt Kathy's dog play catch; he thought it was the greatest thing:
In this picture, Penelope is chasing after Tory's grandparents dog "Lady". She just crawled and crawled after her. It was one of the only times she did not mind being around people she did not know (frankly, she just ignored them and focused on Lady):
All in all it was a successful trip with only some small issues with sleeping, and driving, and the last 15 minutes of the flight home when Parker just fell apart. As for the driving issues, I am afraid we are pinning all our hopes on when we can turn around the kids in their car seats. Life would be so much easier if they did not hate the car so much.

Genevieve! I am SO glad that you found my blog!!! Because now I can follow yours too. :)
Your babies are adorable, and it will be great to be able to see what you are up to...
That's so funny you were in Utah and Idaho that week, because we were in San Diego! I was thinking how sad it was that we didn't meet up with you while we were there, but apparently it just wasn't meant to be. :-) Cute pictures, and I love the ones of your kiddies in the sand on the beach! Matthew LOVED the sand, too - but not the cold water so much.
