Today was Ashlee's wedding; however, the festivities didn't start until the afternoon so we took the boys to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in the morning. Because of our membership to Thanksgiving Point, we got into the museum for free (as a part of the ASTC passport program). We enjoyed seeing the whale exhibit and experimenting in the Space Odyssey area. We wandered through other parts of the museum as well.

Before going back to the hotel to change, we stopped by the Denver LDS temple. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to go in (and Danny's not old enough yet), but we walked around the temple grounds and enjoyed the peace we felt there.
Finally, it was time to head to the wedding. Ashlee got married at a rustic bed and breakfast in Pine Grove (a small town about 30 minutes from Denver). This was the first non-LDS wedding the boys attended. It was a beautiful ceremony, but something seemed to be missing...and both of the boys noted that. Ashlee and her new husband, Joe, are a great couple, but it was sad to hear "until death do you part". I am grateful that I don't have to be separated from Jeff at death. I'm grateful for the priesthood power (God's power given to men on the earth) that binds us together here and hereafter. The wedding and the setting were beautiful. After the ceremony, there was dinner and dancing. We enjoyed yummy soups and salads before dancing off the calories. We stayed long enough for Danny to dance with me during the "mother-son" dance and Jeff to dance with me during the "couples" dance. It was a nice evening to get more acquainted with Jeff's aunts, uncles, and cousins. We wish Ashlee and Joe the best of luck on their new adventures ahead.
