June trip to Oregon and Washington (Part 2)

(Success!!  I got it post dated!)
Here's the rest of our trip.  Really these pics are from our last week there - it was busy and so much fun!!  Katelin and Joe's wedding/reception was a lot of fun.  It was great seeing old friends!  Katelin looked beautiful and so happy.  Joe looked pretty happy too!  :)  It was fun getting to know Joe better, since they were there the same time we were (3 weeks before the wedding), so we got to spend some quality time together.  Connor and Briella love Joe!  It is still so cute to see Briella get so excited to see Joe when we Skype.

 Katelin's Bridal shower
Grandma Minetto, Liz Braghini (Joe's mom) and my mom (Grandma Jan!)
 Cute sisters!
 This was the end result of a game we played at Katelin's shower.  
Each team had 2 minutes to make a wedding dress out of toilet paper.  As you can see they did a pretty good job.  Some more modest than others.  :)  Katelin chose Mo's team dress (to Katelin's right) because they made a wedding ring to go with it.  :)  
 Katelin's Bachelorette party
 We went glow in the dark mini golfing - yup we're a crazy bunch!!! 
 Melissa, Katelin, Mo, me
Jamie, McKell and Natalya 

Wedding Day!
 Look at those huge muscles!

 Not to sure if she's excited???  :)
 Cute cute!!!
 I love this pic!
 And this one too! :)
 Lincoln really loves to show his muscles.  Uncle TyTy's got some guns too!  :)
 My awesome brothers and sisters

 Good job Joe!
 Hot socks boys!!  :)  They all had matching black socks with blue stripes. 
 Love love LOVE this pic!  :)
 Our cute family!
 At the reception that night. 
It was at a friends house.  They were suppose to have it outside on the grounds (if that tells you anything....it was big!)  But in true Oregon fashion it rained so we had to move it inside.  They have a barn that they converted into a basketball court so that was the lucky spot.  Eileen, the wedding decorator, did a fabulous job and made it look awesome!
 Wedding cake and groom's cake.  Can you tell what school/b-ball team he loves???  (Boo - Duke!)
 They were nice to each other.
 Uncle TyTy dancing with Connor - he loved it!!  Afterward he kept asking me to dance with him.  I loved it! 
 Briella and Uncle TyTy - so so so cute!!  :)
 This is one of my favorite pics of all time!!!   I love it!!!  It was so fun!!
 Connor and Briella danced too!  
(Can you tell it was late at that point?!?!)


 Portland Zoo with family
 Lincoln, Connor and Roman all pretending to be eagles in their nest.  
 Papa Steve and Grandma Jan with Sienna and Briella at Spaghetti Factory.
A Minetto family tradition....but we usually call it 'Spag Fag'.  :)
 We went downtown one day and got some DELICIOUS ice cream from the Cool Moon Creamery.  We found out about it from an article titled '10 Best ice cream places in the US'.  We just had to try it!!  :)  We enjoyed it at the park across the street.  
 Pics with the elephant down the street.  
 Grandma and Grandpa Minetto love this elephant!  
 The day we left - SAD!  :(
The trip was so fun!  I miss everyone so much.  I wish we all lived closer.  (I can't wait to move to Colorado so we'll all be a little closer!)
