Monday thru Wednesday were our last 3 days of nannying Eva & Elouise; they went by so fast! i'm gonna miss those girls but will be happy for more sleep and more time! Al came up on Tuesday and stayed until nap time on Thursday. he had his track banquet Thursday night and then just 2 more weeks of work until he gets 12 days off for the lake!
Thursday was our prep day; we ran errands, packed and got ready for Colorado. then bright and early Friday morning we went to the airport (530am). Trevor did great on his first airplane ride. we just gave him his sippy of milk every once in a while during take off and landing. he got a little antsy towards the end of the 1.5 hour flight (the 5 hour flight to Alaska in august could be interesting...) but he did good. he stayed awake the whole flight but slept in the rental car during the hour long drive to fort Collins.
it was a whirlwind weekend with very little sleep (I forgot, Trevor do not sleep well in a pack n play and he got a teething fever the first night) but it was great! we hung out lots at auntie kari and uncle tim's house, especially outside on their deck & patio. the rehearsal dinner was at their house on Friday night (we stayed at their house). the wedding was not too far away in eryn's parent's beautiful backyard! it was gorgeous and we didn't get rained on even though they were predicting it all along! they also had dinner there. I tried to get trevor to sleep in our boba carrier but he would not sleep even though he was super tired. then they had the reception at new Belgium brewery were my cousin travis works, but since it didn't start until 8 and trevor had not napped, we stayed back. he fell asleep right away, so although I wanted to go and see the brewery, try the ice cream & food trucks, and dance, I knew I made the right decision.
sunday every one was exhausted so we just hung around the burge's house until we had to leave for the airport at 2. trevor woke up at 5 am so he napped 10-1230. he then didn't sleep again until bedtime at 10.... he was super tired on the plane but wouldn't sit still long enough to sleep. he did good though for how tired he was; he was much whinier on the flight home but it wasn't bad.
then Monday we headed back to eau Claire finally! we hadn't been there in over 2 weeks. it was good to get home, unpack, clean and play!
