Trip to California

My brother Daniel got married on August 31st at the Sacramento Temple.  We drove to Folsom on Thursday with Max and Simon Johnson.  There were several family events over the weekend. Friday night we all went to a park and had dinner then took family portraits since this was the first time all of my siblings were together with all of their children as well.  Austin had a lot of fun in the water and just a little fun on the swing.   (he got scared a little).

Saturday morning was the wedding. Daniel and Tania both looked very happy.  We haven't gotten any copies of the photographer's pictures but here's some of us.

Austin not caring about pictures anymore

Between the wedding and reception, we went to a luncheon at one of Tania's relatives' house, and we went back to Jonathan's house to finish the wedding cake we were helping him make for the cake contest.  It was a white and black checkered cake with cocoa-crumbs on the tops and coconut on the sides.  The filling also alternated between a chocolate ganache and a coconut cream.  As you can see, it didn't look that good, but it tasted really good.

Rice Crispy cloud "cake" with fog!

Tania is from Mexico so the reception had a lot of traditional Mexican decorations and games and food.  We didn't stay for the whole thing because Austin needed some sleep, but it sounded like it was an all-night party!

Congratulations Daniel and Tania!
