Week before wedding: Fun with our families

The week before our wedding, we got to share a condo with my brother Ivan, Eliza and the girls and spend time with the Heilmans, Ann, Richard, John, Heather and Ellie, who were also in Mammoth for a week!
Good times. Eliza and I went on a nice mellow ride...
The boys got to ride together...
We took the kids to the park...Heather and Ellie enjoy the stream
Nevie loves her uncle Dan!

Adventures and caterpillars!!!
Later that night we had a BBQ at our condo with the Heilmans, and my older brother Ervin knocked on the door and surprised Ivan and I...he made it out for our wedding from British Columbia with his sweet wife, Allie
It just happened to be Allie's birthday THAT night... so we celebrated, of course!
Bride and groom. How cute is my groom?
Dano plays some guitar for us at the end of the night

The next day, Dan's sisters and family were due to arrive...

Mammoth Motocross Weekend June 19-22

We are officially on Vacation. We loaded up my new truck (can you say "new car smell? Yum!) with all our toys, gear and wedding stuff...woah! We arrived in Mammoth Wednesday into Thursday morning...
The boys woke up early and headed to the track for their two days of moto practice before the races on Saturday and Sunday.

Gorgeous day first thing in the morning at the track

Doug, aka, Slippy-Slappy in his flight suit. (He's the herbalist)
And Ed, aka, Edweirdo, in his.

Dangry angrily takes on the track
We are never silly
