A summer full of weddings

In June of 2005, Becki and Andy, along with Becki's parents (Roger and Judi) and Randy, headed out to Las Vegas for the wedding of cousin Jake. While in Nevada, they all took a quick side trip to explore the Hoover Dam. On the last day of their vacation, Andy and Roger rented a 21 foot powerboat and took the rest of the family (Randy, Becki, Judi and Aunt Rheta) out for a day cruise on Lake Mead. This little boat excursion ensured that everyone would be fast asleep during their red-eye flight home that night.

July of 2005 brought the marriage of Denny and Terra. Denny is a friend of Andy's that lives in Windsor, Ontario. Becki was most impressed with the seemingly endless supply of Croatian pastry desserts that is said to be a tradition in this family. Too bad Denny was the last family member to get married, those desserts were G-O-O-D!

August of 2005 took Andy and Becki up to Mackinac Island for the marriage of their friends Jeremy and Renee. Andy was hoping to make the weekend a "camping trip" on his boat, but prolonged engine troubles prevented that from happening. Instead, Roger and Judi setup their motor home in St. Ignace and invited Andy and Becki to setup a tent on their site. This meant that Andy and Becki's trip to the island was only be a day trip, but they still had just as much fun.

As the summer was winding down, Becki and Andy found themselves invited to their fourth wedding of the year in September. Craig and Hannah were married in a beautiful outdoor garden in the town of Holly, Michigan. Afterwards, their reception was held at Canterbury Village in Lake Orion, Michigan. More great treats from another southeastern European family - the food and entertainment were both top notch!
