Paul Schmidtke conducting Heather and Max Meeker Wedding

It was an honor to attend and witness my niece getting married in Alabama the summer of 2016, by my own husband, Paul Schmidtke.  We were thrilled to play a part in the union of these well-matched young adults!

We wish many years of happiness to Heather and Max Meeker!

The beautiful Mrs. Max Meeker!

Hershey's Chocolate World and Factory Summer 2015!

Would a trip to the northeast coast be complete without a visit to 

Hershey's Chocolate World? 

Even the address is wonderful!  

101 Chocolate World Way, Hershey, PA 17033


Catherine saved her money to be able to design her own personal candy bar... 

but a parent had to attend with her.  I was nominated!  

Thank you, Paul Schmidtke!

Catherine, "pulling the lever" to begin the making of her unique candy bar!

Adding chocolate chips, rice crispies, and then sprinkles!

Gigantic unique chocolate bars in fancy tins and self-designed wrappers!

One bar serves 60 people!

A quick family photo!

A tasty King Tut!

Fun facts for our fellow information weasels!

Sisters!

Paul Schmidtke family at Niagara Falls Summer 2015

Niagara Falls was an absolutely amazing family vacation destination for summer 2015!

Paul and Lori Schmidtke below the look out at Niagara Falls

We were able to view the falls from below as well as above, enjoying the breeze and the mist being blown upon us on a very hot day!

Getting misted on below Niagara Falls at the look out!

The overlook of Niagara Falls was absolutely stunning!

Lori and children above Niagara Falls

At least with Paul, the children still look small!

That giant waterfall is not so scary....

 when I am in the arms of my Daddy, Paul Schmidtke!
