The Hinyard-Lash Experience: Starring Leslie, Jeff, Esme, Brynn, Han, and other members of the Hinyard-Lash family

Esme’s first big trip

Sunday, October 12, 2008

We just got back from Esme’s first big trip (“big” meaning somewhere outside the St. Louis area). We headed down to Texas to visit Esme’s Great-Grandmother Murr in Beaumont, then go to the wedding of our good friends Nancy and Rowdy in Buda (outside Austin).

Funny sidenote: Many of you may know that Nancy and Rowdy already got “legally” married in St. Louis a few months ago (see the video on YouTube, complete with Jeff’s musical accompaniment and Andrew’s montage). The wedding yesterday was the family/friends wedding that they had already been planning. And, if you don’t know the story of their St. Louis shotgun mortgage wedding, remind us to tell you sometime.

Anyway, the trip went wonderfully, and we had a fantastic time. Rather than type out the details, we’ve put together a video summary (below) and a whole bunch of pictures to tell the story.
