Mike is Married!

My super cool cousin, Mike, got married on Saturday! (This is the cousin who has climbed all the highest mountains in the world, including Mount Everest where he saved someone's life right after he summited, has been to the highest place in each state in 50 days, and inspires inner city kids by teaching middle school science-seriously one cool guy!) Ladd and I drove up to the wedding in Cambria, about 5 hours north of here on Saturday morning. It was a quick trip for us but so fun to see family from all over the U.S.!
Cambria is a beautiful place where the weather is usually perfect-except on Saturday. The wedding was supposed to be outdoors, but there was literally a downpour of rain and everything took place inside. It was still beautiful and lots of fun though!
Mike and Amber will have lots of fun together! Mike also has two beautiful daughters now. They make beautiful family. We are so happy for them!
These mullet wigs were passed around and the wedding couple wore them while eating their first dinner together!

Cook Girls-we did not plan to match! We must have similar taste!

Party Time!
We love that Dave Letterman and his super fun wife Kathy (also from Wisconsin) were at our table!

We stayed at the "Big Red House" with my mom and Judy and Glen.

Here is the view (on Sunday when the sun was out, of course!) from the house:
Congratulations to Mike and Amber!
