A Perfect Yard For A Wedding Reception

Jacob and Annie had the perfect location for their outdoor wedding reception at a friend's house that was close to the church building.  Michigan summers are beautiful!  The grass was so green, the garden was so bountiful, the pond was beautiful and there was a breeze blowing in from Lake Michigan.  The owners of this property had everything to host the perfect party....

Everyone took their turn walking baby Luke.  Russell liked walking around the pond......

They even had some farm animals........

And a water pump that was powered by this windmill.  Wish I could capture sounds to go along with this picture.  I enjoyed standing by the windmill and listening to the pump....

There were many bird houses around the property.  You can see one next to the windmill above and in the picture below there were several on the edge of the garden.  Stacy loves to garden, so he was taking in this big garden and seeing what all they were growing.....

The tables were decorated so pretty.....

I'm going to copy this idea someday!  Making name cards for all the entrees in the buffet line.....

They even had a caramel apple making station that Seth and Gabby both enjoyed.....
