We're Back!

Finally, after 2 weeks of vacation to Vegas and Denver, we are home again and ready to relax. It is definitely a whole new world traveling with an infant. It was our first flight with Taylor and she actually did pretty good. On the way there we were delayed 2 hours ON THE PLANE! So that was a little rough. She would have slept the whole time if the plane was on schedule, so we had to keep her entertained and sucking on my pinkie! Thank goodness for the pinkie! She hasn't quite master thumb sucking when she is extremely upset. Luckily, the people around us were nice and they too were frustrated with the delay, so they understood. Taylor did so good!

Saturday: We got to Denver in the afternoon and Lori and Kay picked us up. We had plans to go the the Denver Nuggets game so there wasn't much time to relax...this was the beginning of a long day for Taylor. We had just enough time to get our stuff unloaded, change Taylor into her sweet Nuggets cheer leading outfit(thanks lori and kay) and head off to dinner and the game. We had dinner at the Pepsi Center where the game was. Taylor was doing great. She started to get a little fussy, but after some walking around she fell asleep. We thought she would be out for awhile, but shortly woke up and needed to be walked. Eric and I took turns, sweating...it was so hot, and trying to keep her happy. She eventually just sat on my lap and watch all the lights and listened to all the noise...it was sooooo loud but it didn't bother her at all. This girl loves loud noises. We were able to stay the whole game, and it was a good one, and then we headed home. Taylor had such a long day but did so well. We put her to sleep as soon as we got home. What a trooper, traveling all day long and sitting through a basketball game...WOW!

Dinner before the game

It was 80's night at the game...and Tone-Loc was the halftime show

Sunday: For Eric's birthday back in Oct. I got him tickets to a Denver Broncos NFL Game. He has always wanted to go to a NFL game so I finally made it happen this year. WE had Lori and Kay watch Taylor while we went to the game. We were worried about the weather because of all the snow Denver just had. Luckily it was a clear day and the sun was out. We bundled up and hoped for the best. For the most part it was great. We had seats that kept us in the sun for half the game...thank goodness. But then the sun went down and we started to get cold...mostly just our feet. The Broncos were killing the Chiefs (41-7) so we held out until the 4th quarter with 10 minutes to go. And then we had to go. We tried to drink all the hot chocolate we could, but that would only last so long. So we left. Taylor was great for Lori and Kay. She slept most of the time.I know Lori wanted to play with her more...sorry Lori :). So we spent the rest of the night, just hanging out.

pictures at the game...thank goodness for that sun!

Monday: We didn't have anything else planned for our trip, but decided to take a trip down memory lane for Eric. Eric lived in Denver not far from where we were, so we wanted to go check out his old stomping grounds. We even ate at a place called Good Times, that Eric remembers going to with his dad all the time. We drove over to Castlerock where eric lived to drive by his old house, unfortunately, it is a gated community, and the lady at the gate was not having it. She was not going to let us in! Eric was kind of bummed because the house there is the exact same house as the one here in Park City. So it would have been fun to see. So we drove around the area a little bit and found his old middle school and that was about it. If Arvada wasn't far away, we would have drove there to see where I used to live. I was born there and lived there until I was 7. It was fun to just drive around, we really like Denver. The rest of the day we went to dinner and played Wii the rest of the night.

We had such a good time and it was fun to go to all the sporting events. We want to come back next summer to visit and go to a Colorado Rockies game! Lori and Kay have such a fun house and we appreciate their hospitality. Thanks ladies for making our trip so fun. We will try to come out more often, we had a blast. Taylor was so excited to meet you both and can't wait until the next time...GO NUGGETS!:)

after all that traveling...taylor was still able to smile! But look at how tired her eyes look...poor girl!
