It has been a crazy and wonderful week! Monday was a day for laundry and shopping and such, then after I went swimming on Tuesday morning, we packed up the van and headed out to Idaho. The trip to Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house was relatively quick and easy. We got in just in time for dinner, then headed out to the nearby school to play and run around. The kids had fun playing and Eileen had a great time with Grandpa shooting her bow. Grandpa made a makeshift target for her and they had a grand time together. Grandpa had done some bow hunting when he was younger and loved talking with her! We also did a little birthday celebrationw for David and Anna.
The next morning, we got on the road early (early for the kids) and headed for Colorado. We stopped at Little America for ice cream and fun taking pictures, then another quick stop in Laramie to pick up some things for a friend.
Then dinner at Firehouse Subs and into Denver. It was after 10 by that time, so we all headed to bed.
Thursday we were waiting for Grandma and Sandi to get in, so once Grandma got in, and we still had hours waiting for Sandi, we went to the Museum of Nature and Science. It was cheaper to get a membership than to pay for the family, so we are members again. :) We had fun there for a few hours and then headed back to the house to meet up with Sandi and get dinner.
Friday morning, we headed up to the cabin to help get things ready for the wedding. We did some decorating and hiking up to the mine and hung out until we could check in at the airbnb. Then in the evening, some of us went to where the reception was happening to get it set up. Anna, Sandi and I ended up staying late with Chris (Julia's husband) and his friend Will to clean the kitchn which was kinda gross. But we did hard work and got it looking SO much better!
Saturday morning, we went to rehearse with the guitarist and finish set up for the wedding, then the wedding! Sandi and I were singing while everyone walked down the aisle, and it went well. The wedding was beautiful! After, we headed over to the reception and had fun eating and dancing.
In the evening, some of us went over to the cabin to sing around the campfire. It was a fun group with the bridesmaids (who are all musical) and some of the groomsmen and a few other friends and family members. It was a lot of fun and we got a great view of the stars!
Sunday was a bit different. With some of the kids struggling with lack of sleep/altitude sickness, we decided to watch our home ward at the airbnb. So we watched Sacrament meeting in the afternoon. In the morning, mom's cousin Jill took the kids to teach them how to pan for gold. The kids had fun and even found a few specks.
