The wedding rehearsal.

One of our best friends was getting married in Estes Park, the main reason we took this vacation, and Lamar and Topher were both in the wedding. On Friday evening they had the rehearsal and dinner at the Stanley Hotel. For those of you who don't know the Stanley is where The Shining was filmed. A little spooky, but an absolutely gorgeous hotel. We really enjoyed seeing some of our old friends from Arlington, and it was even better to see Trent about to marry the love of his life, Bethany.


The rehearsal is always a little boring for those not involved, but Tyler found plenty of ways to entertain himself. He loved playing with the chairs.....

until he got stuck in between two of them!

On the way to the rehearsal dinner we saw a ton of elk hanging out on the side of the road. They walked directly up to our car and then crossed the road, like it was totally normal.


Trent's sister, Kelli, has two kiddos. Gavin and Libby. Gavin loved playing with Tyler and he was so gentle and sweet with him. It's a good thing too, because one day, Libby and Tyler will get married. This was the beginning of their crush.

My favorite part of the whole trip was getting to hang out with my "sister from another mister", Leya. We got to chit chat and just catch up on all that's been going on since we had babies. I miss my Leya!
