Our Trip to Mississippi-Melissa's Wedding

Yay!  We had fun in Mississippi.  Cooked some hot dogs at the creek and had some of Daddy's green tea margaritas.  He must be getting old if he can't handle a full strength margarita.  The kids had a ball in the creek and so did we.  Matt got to look for arrowheads, I found some petrified fish eggs, and we all made watermellon boats.  Aunt Pansy and Uncle Pat converted MawMaw's front room into a little version of their house and it was really neat!  Natalie, Ross, Will, Ted, Barret, Sydney and Ally had a ball together.  

Luke was the preacher for the wedding.  Melissa told us about it and Shana said, "Luke is a preacher?!?"  Melissa said that we should hear that man speak.  Shana said, "He's a man?!?"  It was funny.  We got to see Jacobs kids (who look like Syndney) and his wife who is just like Aunt Nelda.  I didn't know there was anyone in the world like Aunt Nelda, but he managed to find one.  She must be related to Aunt Nelda, which I guess is okay in Mississippi.  

We executed the fastest car decoration in history, topping out at one minute.  Shana and I got to ride back in hurricane evacuation traffic.  Our 4.5 hour trip turned into near 10, but we didn't really care because we ate Mexican food at the end.  Pam, you understand.  The Three Silly Seestors love some Mexican food.  Mexicans make really good food for us.  :)  

Ted, Sydney, Barret and Ally made up words to "These are the People in our Neighborhood" for the last two hours of the trip.
