A great time in Cancun 2008

Kip and I had spent the week after we got married seeing the sites of Montana with our friends and family and had spent a weekend at Big Sky ski resort for a mini Honeymoon. Kodi our oldest daughter and is the is the accounts payable manager at the resort along with her friends surprised us with Champaign and strawberries and had given us an adorable mini honeymoon.

Kip and I were going to go on an actual Honeymoon but weren't sure where until our dear friend Katie Owen announced that she and Juan had moved their wedding date and were planning on getting married New Years day in Cancun. There was no way I was going to miss their wedding and we could also turn the trip into our Honeymoon. As it turned out Mike Timmer (who also works at Unisys) and his wife Robbie were going to be celebrating their anniversary so the 6 of us along with some of Katie's family hit the beaches of Cancun to celebrate all of these occasions at one time.

The first few days were a bit overcast but nothing slowed us down from having a good time. After the darling wedding ceremony we headed to the beach where they had laid out the reception. We were just getting ready to eat when a small storm hit, which some of us just sat thru and then the second one hit it and it was a down pour. They had to move everything into this small hut like restaurant were 10-15 people were having dinner. We ended up turning the whole restaurant into Katie and Juan's reception inviting all of the people to eat the magnificent buffet, turned the center of the room into a dance floor and even shared wedding cake with the other diners and the entire staff. We had an absolute blast and were all soaked from head to toe, our feet and the dance floor covered in wet sand and it could not have been more fun. We were NOT about to let a little rain ruin our fun.

I can guarantee you the people that were just having dinner in a hut that night minding there own business had no idea they would all be participating in a wedding reception by the end of the evening! I have posted a few of the pictures but am still waiting for miss Katie to give me a couple more which I will add to this slide show. It was a great time had by all, Thanks Katie for inviting us and congratulations on the new little one that you are expecting in February!
