Trip to CO

PHEW. Finally found a minute to get on here. About this time yesterday Emmett blessed me with a three hour nap in which I was able to tidy the house, read, and relax a bit. I'm hoping his current nap is another one of those *fingers crossed* so I can get a post or two done.

Back on May 22nd, Emmett and I hitched a ride with Shilo and Kody out to Colorado. They were mainly going to attend the Air Force Academy graduation, and I was going to avoid spending another uneventful week cooped up in the house. I was nervous taking Emmett on his first long road trip, but he handled it like a champ! He slept probably seven of the eight hour car ride and we only had to stop once in Grand Junction on the way there. HALLELUJAH.

While we were there we...

went to the Denver Zoo with Lynnea and Evie,

shopped & shopped at Park Meadows and the outlets,

celebrated Kody's 22nd birthday,

went to the Taylor Swift concert with Hailey (well I did, Emmett stayed home with gigi),

ate ice cream at Rita's,

spent quality time with the fam,

& video chatted with Jason lots.

This was the longest Jason and I have been apart since we've been married, and the first time he's ever had to be away from his baby boy. We sure missed our daddy!

^^ Kody has the magic touch!

The concert was AMAZING. By far one of the coolest experiences ever. A girl in Hailey's ward had an extra ticket, so I got to tag along FOR FREE. Keep in mind, these were $400 seats - we were SO CLOSE. I was freaking out that Taylor Swift, one of the most famous singers of our time, was only a couple yards away from us !!! I obviously took lots of video haha. I'm sooooo grateful that my mama was willing to watch Emmett while I had a late night out. She's the best gigi.

^^ Emmett's first time at the zoo

Hanging with grandpa. I love these guys!

That about sums up our trip! Perfect timing too... Emmett's just waking up. Only 2 1/2 hours until dad gets home :)))
