Trains, trains

Well, I was supposed to take the boys out to see the trains last night, but Mallory and Michael thought they had to go, too. So we all went, but arrived just as everyone had gone out for dinner. One guy, Dan, had stayed and really had a great time showing the kids all kinds of things they couldn't have seen if everyone had been there. It really worked out well. It was dark when everyone got back, so the photos are poor at best. My greatest new photographer, Matthew, took most of these. We really had a great time and the kids want to talk Grandpa into going again after church.

This was my friend, Malarie's big wedding cake weekend. It was so beautiful. She is so talented with cakes. I was really jealous of this one. It had staircases and a fountain and lots of orbitals. All my brides ever want is flat stacks. Someday!! My next one is another flat stack, but the groom's cake is Michigan Stadium, so that should be fun! But anyway, Malarie's cake was just fantastic. She had blue icing ribbons all around it and matched blue water for the fountain. She brought pictures in to show me. Her topper really made me nervous. One of the heaviest and unbalanced ever. I sure hope it stayed up. She had good plans on how to stabilize it, I'm just not sure that it could work. Sure hope so!
