Danny in Denver

Over the Fourth of July weekend, Chris and I flew out to Denver for a friend's wedding.  Aaron and Jill stayed with Nana and Papa, but we took Danny with us so that the grandparents wouldn't be too overloaded with cuteness (or craziness).

In Denver, Danny had many adventures, including riding the train from the airport, visiting the Geology Museum, going for a trolley ride downtown, cheering for me while I ran a 5K at 7,000 feet, and meeting lots of new friends.

So this is the wild, wild west?

What's so special about this rock?

Ding ding, here we come!

Our "only child" for the weekend

Proud finishers of the Indian Hills 5K (which had way more hills and way less oxygen than I'm used to)!

Cute in Colorado

Danny also got showered with way more attention than he is used to!  We stayed with our good friends, Sean and Jenna, and their two adorable daughters who were so sweet to Danny.  So he got plenty of love and hugs to help him forget how much he missed his brother and sister.

So much love!

There's something suspicious about this...these girls are wayyy too nice to me.

In good hands.

Even Mozart needs a helping hand.

Triple lunch date!

Our friends generously offered to babysit Danny for us while we went to the wedding.  And as if that weren't enough, Jenna is quite a talented photographer, so she took some beautiful photos of us and our little guy as we were getting ready to leave for the event.

Here's a quick shot of Chris and me at the wedding.  We didn't have any kids with us (obviously), but I had to suck in pretty hard to look good in my dress so I felt like my children made their presence felt the whole night!

At the end of the weekend, we were sad to say goodbye to our wonderful friends and the beauties of Colorado.  But we were pretty excited to get back home to these to patriotic kiddos.

Happy Fourth of July!
