We bummed a ride with Zach's parents (thank goodness for built in DVD players when traveling with a 2-year old) and headed out Thursday night after work. We made a pit-stop in Colby for the night, and Lyle devoured the hotel breakfast in the morning while making friends with all the other guests.
Breaking up the trip out was wonderful, only leaving us with a couple hours in the car in the morning. The wedding took place at the beautiful historic Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver. Lyle loved that we had real keys to open our hotel room door!
We dropped off our bags and walked a few blocks to find something to eat.

After lunch it was back to the hotel for naps and massages at the spa! What a way to vacation! :) The plan was to meet up with the rest of the family and wedding party for the rehearsal dinner "after-party." We grabbed a bite to eat first at the hotel restaurant (where Lyle refused to eat his macaroni, well refused to do just about anything really). The night was gorgeous and we had fun sitting out on the patio at the Denever Beer Co, catching up with family and watching the fireworks after the Colorado Rockies game a few blocks away.
The one day that Lyle sleeps in, I was awake at 6:45 and not able to go back to sleep. So I brewed coffee in the bathroom, took a shower, and got ready for the day.
We had an awesome room service breakfast picnic on the floor, then gathered the fam and headed down to the Denver Zoo for a bit. It was awesome!
Lyle had a face of pure joy on the merry-go-round!
Loving Lyle's blue cotton candy mouth.
After the zoo it was back to the hotel for naps (required for this mama and toddler if we were going to stay up past our bedtime!) Then it was time to get gussied up for the wedding! I didn't get many wedding pictures, but you should look at the ones my brother-in-law put on Facebook...they are awesome!
Lyle was breaking it down on the dance floor, showing off his new boots, and how well he can stomp and jump. Hilarious! He also had a great signature move where he would be on his hands and feet and kick a leg back. He knew he was hot stuff.
We enjoyed brunch with family in the morning, then packed up in the car for the long ride home. Sorry to all my family for having to put up with a cranky uncomfortable pregnant lady all day.
And now we are home, thoroughly excited about our fall shows being back on T.V., washing scrubs at nine o'clock at night so we have something to wear, and feeding the surprise group of MYF kids coming over to our house tonight pizza because I don't have the energy to make anything else. But kids love pizza, right???
Here's to hoping everyone is having a great week!
