The next morning the whole family...Kirk, Meki, and Kirin included...AND the bride and groom went to brunch at Tru Religion which is a favorite restaurant of ours. Yes, we were SHOCKED that the newlyweds wanted to join us for brunch but they did. They entered the restaurant to the LOUDEST catcalls and whistles in a packed restaurant full of BYU graduates and their families!! LOL. We had such a fun time all together and it is one of my favorite memories of the trip!
I have some absolutely CLASSIC videos of parts of this brunch! Ha ha!!
After brunch we loaded up about 5 different cars full of Ailey and Luke's wedding gifts and drove to their new apartment in Lehi. Their apartment is super cute! I love it! Karson tried out the little playground.
He was a fan!
Then we bid the Jorgensens goodbye and the whole crew drove to Kameron and Erin's new apartment in Eagle Mountain.
Their new apartment is also absolutely darling! I love it!
Then it was back to the Airbnb with the whole group where we played games...whiffle ball and football out in the park...doordashed a Mexican Feast...and then had a game night until late into the night.
It was such a great night until Ailey and Luke called us from the road on their way to Las Vegas to tell us that they had the keys to one of our cars. They had to turn around and bring the keys to us and ended up getting here late and spending the second night of their marriage at our Airbnb with the whole freaking family. Yikes. Then while they were driving back to Orem we had a dog emergency with Beverly. A big bag of leftover M&Ms from the reception was left on the floor in one of the rooms and that sneaky little dog found them and devoured a large portion. This necessitated an emergency call to the animal ER. It was scary and we were all in tears thinking that she was going to die but then the vomiting began and the vet reassured us that she would be okay since she was puking up the candy by herself. Within a few hours she was back to being the grand diva that she always is and the vet said that she would be fine. But it was quite the night!
I am always sad when I have to say goodbye to my brother. I miss him a lot and his family. It always feels so good when our families are together. The kids all commented on how much they love all of us being together. I wish they lived closer but I'm glad that we will be in Utah quite a bit now with four kids living there.
The next day we headed home to Spokane. Reilly, Hunter, and Karson left super early and Ailey and Luke weren't far behind them. They were eager to get to their honeymoon location. LOL! Me, Tyler, Bryn, Kameron, and Erin left at our check-out time. Like I said before...Tyler noticed some bleeding in one of his eyes while he was loading the car. That was really disappointing. Thankfully it wasn't a crazy amount but still so frustrating!! We went back to Kameron and Erin's apartment to drop off Dwight and then we all went out to lunch at In-N-Out. I REALLY hate saying goodbye to my kids but I know that they are where they are supposed to be and I'm excited for all of the wonderful things that they are doing!
Then it was the LONG drive home. We stopped in Rexburg to pick up the Camry aka the kid car so that Bryn would have it to drive now. We made it home around 10 pm our time. Not too bad. Reilly, Hunter, and Karson made it home several hours before and without any issues. Ailey and Luke FINALLY made it to Las Vegas and had a great time on their honeymoon!!
Next up May!
