Jamie & Chris' Wedding - September 2009

Our niece Jamie got married in Asheville, NC over Labor Day weekend. If you haven't been to Asheville, NC or it's surrounding area, it's incredible.

Family picture day of the wedding.



Us and Marv and Jayne.

Stacy, Ryan and Mia heading down the pathway to the wedding site.

Jayne and Marv heading to their "front row" seats.

Our niece, Kayley (Jamie's sister).

Cassidy (our other niece and Jamie's sister). They had a beautiful walk down to the ceremony. We were sitting below this pathway looking up as the girls walked down to meet the groomsmen.

I thought these were cool shots. Dave and Jamie were "hiding" behind some trees enjoying everyone getting ready.

Labor Day in GA and NC - September 2009

We spent the Labor Day weekend this year in Big Canoe, GA and Asheville, NC.

We spent one day at Chimney Rock State Park just outside of Asheville.

"Rock climbing" at Chimney Rock State Park

One of the falls on our hike at Chimney Rock.

This is the rock slide at Big Canoe. The kids love it. It's not exactly S. Florida temperature water.

Diane's ride down the slide.

Ryan's turn.

I had to chaperone all the sliding.
