Today was the wedding of Bob Schaut and Susan Roewe. Bob and Gale have been friends for 30 years, meeting for the first time while employed as Iowa Park Rangers. The wedding was at 5 pm at Big Creek State Park (near Des Moines) where Bob has been a Park Ranger for several years. Before going to the wedding, we stopped at our daughter and son-in-laws home in Urbandale. Jess and Joe had offered us their spare bed for the night which we were happy to accept. It also gave us a chance to see the family and, especially, their two little boys. It was amazing how much Baby Jake had changed since we saw him three weeks ago.
The wedding was lovely – Bob and Susie were married on a pontoon boat on the lake. Gale drove the boat and two other pontoons rafted up with us before the ceremony. After they were officially husband and wife, we motored over to the dock near the shelter house where the reception was taking place. We met some old friends there – several park rangers and their wives/dates. We were back at Jess and Joe’s house at 8:30 pm and had a little time with JT before he needed to go to bed.
