It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony at a Nature Preserve:

Elie and Drew

These two were just giddy about getting married.

You could just feel the excitement between them!

During the Vows - they said their own it was very sweet.

Mrs. Bengston (Jones)

Tony and Colleen - May 4, 2012

 We stayed an extra day, and drove around our old neighborhood. It brought back so many happy times.

For lunch we tested out a new Lebanese restaurant on the University of Minnesota campus in a area called Dinkytown.

Here is some yummy tabouli:

... and some hummus and falafel.

...after lunch we headed to The Bengstons' hobby farm in Jordan....

There are 3 horses, many chickens and hens, a cat 'Marmalade" and two dogs, one a pup.

Here is the pup 'Carly' - look at those blue eyes!

 The horses. 

...the Chickens.

I was in animal heaven :)

It was a long 7+ hour drive home, due to some storms.

Finn was very happy to see us, as you can tell by the excitement in his face.
