The Ups, The Downs, and Everything In Between: July 20, 2014

It's always sad saying goodbye to vacation. While I was getting ready to get home to our own space, I definitely didn't want to leave Zoe and go back to work. Oh well...I suppose it's work that allows us to take such fun vacations :)

Nothing really new pregnancy-wise. It's definitely exhausting trying to do everything with everyone with a 20 month old and pregnant. Thankfully there were plenty of hands to help out. I was able to do most everything, but there were a few things I had to sit out of. And obviously no drinking which was a major bummer....there were a few night I really could have had a glass (or bottle) of wine.

Zoe slept essentially the entire way from the airport to Glenwood Springs. She woke up with maybe 30 minutes left and just watched out the window. We didn't do much Sunday - just unpacked and went to Chile's with Papa (exciting dinner I know) and quickly grocery shopped for the week.

Monday we headed to Snowmass to meet my BFF and her family for a few hours. We had fun but didn't take many pictures! It's funny how our time together has changed a bit now that Zoe is older. It's getting harder to just sit and chat like the old days! But it's fun to see how it's changed too watching the little ones run around (or sit quietly as is Harper's case for now :) ). Monday night we made dinner and somehow clogged the sink....so many dishes and no where to put them.

Tuesday we decorated the reception venue....for FIVE hours. It was gorgeous in the end, but it took FOREVER and only a few disagreements :)

Wednesday everyone else went hiking to Hanging Lake while Zoe and I found a park. I made the mistake of trying to tell her where we were going and she cried and cried about the swings until we finally got there. I think we swinged for about 35 minutes before I could finally coax her off of them :) That night we went out to dinner for my dad's birthday (60th! later this month). After dinner was music in the park and Little Miss definitely got her groove on. She LOVES to dance.

I'm glad Andrew can fake it.

Rockin' it out with Beeba.

Thursday was our rafting day. Zoe and I went down the lower portion after the rapids. She had so.much.fun. I have never heard her squeel and laugh so much in 2 hours in my life. Unfortunately, we couldn't take phones, so I don't have any pictures, but she was so freakin' cute. Whee!!! Whoa.... were common words heard from the front. There was one wave that caught her off guard but she quickly recovered and was squeeling again. She definitely passed out that afternoon for her nap. We had to finally wake her up at 4:30 to get going to the park for our bbq.

Friday Aaron and Zoe went for a LONG bike ride where Aaron saw a bear (Zoe was napping). Us girls got out nails done and finished decorating and got ready super fast for the rehearsal. Zoe did GREAT walking down the aisle with the ring bearer...our only hope was that it would go just as well on the actual wedding day. She was crabby at dinner so we didn't stay long.
