So Saturday in Denver, was Dan and Jennifer's wedding. She got married in a really old, beautiful church in downtown Denver. It had a really cool pipe organ. The wedding was very beautiful and everyone looked so beautiful or handsome. Jennifer cried while saying her vows. There was a few hours break, then the reception. There were light finger foods and a photo booth. Everyone was asked to take pics and got 2 copies, one for yourselves and one to decorate a page for the scrap book for Jen and Dan. That was fun! There were props and it was really neat to see some of the photos that were made. The reception was adults only and so it was fun to have a "Date Night". There was good food and music. We even got Mom to dance a few times! (yes there is video floating around somewhere). It was fun to get to be with family and laugh and joke.
Sunday, Mom, my sister in law and I cooked breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. After we all had breakfast, Darren, the kids and I went to Colorado Springs to visit an old friend of mine and her family. We haven't really been in touch with each other since we were teens. We had a great lunch and a great time in the pool, even though it was cut short by thunder. We went back to her house and had a great time catching up as well as great brownies. Greyson and Addyson had a great time playing with her youngest who is 4.
We then headed back to Denver to meet Darren's brother and his dog, Molly at one of the parks. The park was beautiful and Molly had fun running after the ball, as well as getting to know us. After a while, we said good bye to Molly and Darren's brother. We would be going home the next day. The time had gone by so fast. I was wishing that we had more time to spend with our Denver family.
Monday morning, we got up, had breakfast and then did that last minute packing then headed to the airport. Greyson and Addyson were excited to be going on a plane again. We got checked in and then had lunch and went to the gate. The kids had fun watching planes land out the windows. We boarded and the flight was full. Actually I had to check in at the gate and got the last guaranteed seat on the plane. I think Addy fell asleep as we were climbing to 10,000 feet and slept all the way until about 30 minutes before we landed in Philadelphia. Greyson was full of energy and refused to sleep or play with his leapster. He fell asleep about 5 minutes before we landed. When he woke up at the gate, he kept wanting to feel the "bump" of landing.
At Philly, we had dinner and picked up a few gifts. The kids were wired. Boarding was postponed, to try to wait for weather in Raleigh to clear. There was an opening in the storms and we took off for an hour flight back to Raleigh. There was only about 40 people on the plane and Addy was still wired and was chatty and in her Diva mode! Greyson and Daddy talked and played. Greyson fell asleep again about 5 minutes before landing again! We arrived back home at 1230 an we all fell into bed. Needless to say that we slept late the next day.
We had a wonderful time in Denver and can't wait to go back again!
