We were able to spend a few days in Colorado this last weekend. Our friend from college married the woman of his dreams. They met in Chicago but have set up shop in Denver, CO. We left Portland on a gorgeous, sunny day and got to Denver... where it was pouring... awesome. It rained for about three days but the day of the wedding was lovely. We were able to explore Boulder which reminded us alot of Flagstaff and a little bit of Portland. It was beautiful. The wedding was amazing. Cooper was a ring bearer and did a fantastic job getting down the aisle. At one point, I said 'go to Dadda' and he ran up to one of the groomsmen... the only other groomsman with curly hair... but not Dadda.
Olivia isn't much for just sitting on my lap and enjoying the scenery so soon enough we were at the back of the group standing and swaying while the ceremony went on. The ceremony was beautiful and very well put together. Then we headed inside for dinner and dancing. My Mom and Dad decided to make a road trip up to Colorado to 'babysit' which helped them get in some much needed grandkid time and helped us really enjoy our friends and their day. Shortly after the ceremony they drove out and picked up the kids. Another couple there, some very close friends had just had a baby and he hung out with us almost all night, just kind of napping and eating. He is adorable and I got to dance with him, so that's always fun!
On Sunday, we got to go see some family friends that we hadn't seen in years. The men went on a brewery tour and we hung out at the Brewery restaurant. It was the coolest place, it had a pond and a sandbox out back. I was worried about Cooper hanging out for over an hour before we even would get to eat, but he was in heaven! He kept throwing rocks in the pond (no worries, there were tons of rocks already in there) and playing with some other little kids that were there. It was touch and go for a minute because he hadn't napped that day and was a bit 'yucky pucky' on our drive there. But in true Cooper fashion, he performed for the crowd with his utterly charming personality.
