Do I understand it?
Well....sort of.
I get that it is telling people to slow down because there are children playing.
But is that what it's really saying? Not to me.
Are the kids slow? Is that even a kid in the picture?
Is his mind slow? And WHY the heck is he/she wearing an acorn on his head?
Are we only to slow down because we have been attacked by the "Acorn People"?
And is it me or do the Acorn People wear knee-socks?
Wait, I think they are running around in loafers. Is that why we should slow-down? Everyone knows this kid should be wearing better shoes for playing!!!!
Is that a laser around his waist? A belt? W H A T??? |
Fine. I'm getting over it. Back to the reason I was at the Cherokee, NC, KOA.
I offered, as a wedding gift, to do the a bride and her mothers hair for her wedding at this campground. We had met this family here, so it seemed a good idea.
Easy, right?
Hairdresser hard at work. Nice hat. |
Hold still, we will be right back...lol. I love this picture! |
Me hard at work on a bridesmaid. Cute shirt, huh. Its a JCrew (new with tags) that I thrifted for $4! The bow feels like velvet....I feel....not so smooth. |
I hate tooting my own horn, but Hairdresser and I are good at doing hair y'all!!!! |
Hairdresser at work on the Bride. |
I did Brides make-up also and told her it could withstand the 100degree heat. It did. Yeah baby! |
The girls all looked beautiful! This was right outside by the pavilion! |
Here comes the bride! |
Most interesting. You really got into something didn't you? I think having a wedding like that would have been a lot easier at a home or a church but this way was probably more memorable.
ReplyDeleteAcorn People! Hilarious! You did a fantastic job on everyone's hair. I wish I was talented enough to do updos like that.
ReplyDeleteWe went camping over the 4th of July also, but I don't think any of my outfits were cute. And I didn't wear a lick of red!
Aww what a sweet wedding! I love weddings where the whole family + friends chip in. It's more special and more memorable in my opinion! Great hair!!
ReplyDeleteI always wondered who came up with that sign and that picture...looks like an escapee from the land of mis-fit people.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool wedding story.
You are a treasure to do this!
Brett
Okay that thing about the slow children crossing was hysterical. Why IS there an acorn on his head?! Now I need to know.
ReplyDeleteYou really did a fabulous job with the hair! And you should be awfully proud of your kids, that's amazing of them to decorate. Incredible.
The bridesmaids look beautiful in their watermelon colors! What a fun color scheme for an outdoor summer wedding!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
Your bridal party looked incredible and I am sure they were pumped to have such a beautiful and stylish stylist! I have been held hostage by ACORN PEOPLE for many years...maybe someday I will break free!!
ReplyDeleteLisa--sounds like you saved the day in multiple ways and took it all in stride. Perhaps the slow children sign came from Austria...
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!! I love Grant's hat!! I have a straw one pretty much just like it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're home!!
Judy-A church would have been cooler, but I found out that the couple met here at the campground so that is fun. right?
ReplyDeleteSJ-How fun that you are a camper as well!!! Yay!
I hope you had fun also.
Viktoria-You are right that when everyone chips in, its really fun and great memories for everyone. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBrett-LOL I know, what is with this sign?
Melissa-I did think that the watermelon scheme was really I liked the dresses.fun for the campground wedding also.
Pam-I love your comment! And thanks.
ReplyDeleteTerri-LOLOLOLOL! Darn! I wish I had thought of the whole Austria thing. You rock.
Joy-It is good to be back. Do I have to do a post on lice? :(
