August 14, 2009 - Happy Reception at Cactus and Tropicals

I had never been to Cactus and Tropicals, but it was a beautiful location for a reception. It was a pretty busy day, but it all worked out and the kids did great!
I love Tylar's smile....this is her "smiling" on purpose.

Aniston and Tylar didn't stay too long at the reception thanks to Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Craig. At first I felt bad, but after Aniston got her very own candy bag and was ready to leave I asked, "Did you have fun at the party?" She answered in the affirmative, so all was well.

Before they left, Tylar fell IN LOVE with a couple of the dog statues. Without being promted, or encouraged for that matter, she ran up to the dog and REPEATEDLY gave it kiss after kiss after kiss....

There was another little dog statue behind the doors. Fortunately she was able to send her love through the glass.

In addition to the dog statues, there were also several water fountains. Aniston, being the kind-hearted, lover of nature, that she is, kindly took the time to water the surrounding flowers. Mother nature thanks you!

Grandma Eileen gave Aniston a couple of pointers of how best to keep the water in your hands.
