[…] that much at all and you don’t really drink that much anymore. I think that’s why my Colorado trip did a number on me :) ha! Well, I do love my wine so I decided to open a bottle last night with […]
Now I have a few more pictures from Colorado for my cousin Makenzey. I mentioned in my last post that she checks my blog everyday and she was beyond cute while I was in Colorado and I promised her I would post pictures of her jumping in the pool with her friends. I also think this girl should have her own talk show! She is hysterical!
So, I was exhausted after my trip to Colorado…if you know me and my family, you know that we do enjoy our wine and drinks every now and then. Well, my family did not disappoint this past weekend :) Here is what my schedule was:
Arrive in Colorado Springs on Friday and I had a glass of Bushmills in my hand within 5 minutes of arriving to my grandparents house. That’s when I knew I was in for it, ha! (P.S. Why Bushmills you ask?? It’s my grandpas favorite)
We then went out to eat at Chopsticks (which was super yummy and I had leftovers to take with me but apparently my grandpa had made up a rule I didn’t know about…no leftovers) and while we were eating I was told I had to try the Plum wine, which was delicious!!
Saturday I took pictures with Dylan all morning and then we met everyone for lunch. I ordered a Coke, but was told that was a no go. Apparently I was supposed to have a drink for lunch on Saturday afternoon :) So Vodka and cranberry it was!
Dylan and I finished up taking pictures after lunch
The rest of Saturday afternoon was GORGEOUS and spent sitting by the pool of their country club drinking wine (3 glasses) and taking lots of pictures of Makenzey jumping in the pool :) (she is so cute!)
Saturday evening was spent eating VERY yummy pizza and being told I need to drink “Colorado” beer. Thank you Jeff :)
Saturday night was spent with my Aunt Kelley and her friends. The whole night was too much fun and the stories from that night are a WHOLE other blog post. Here are some key points -cowboys -lots of shots -guys in blazers -dancing -me yelling at guys for taking my seat when I went to the bathroom -tarantulas -me and my Aunt Kelley meeting Dylan’s girlfriends parents, aunt & neighbor (for the first time… and at 3:00 AM…and without his knowledge) -learning how to say cheers in German (Brost!) -almost getting Kelley pulled over because I waved at the cop sitting on the side of the road -having to navigate myself through my grandparents house after being out till 3:00.
Sunday was brunch at Bon Ton’s where my grandpa ordered me a Bloody Mary and I immediately screamed NO! And said, “I need the biggest Coke you have!!!”
Sunday afternoon was spent shopping at all the cute cute stores in Old Colorado.
Sunday evening was a going away party for Jeff’s mom. She is joining the Peace Corp and going to Morocco for 2 years!!!! Major kudos to her! While there I was told that I had a minimum of 3 margaritas to drink. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I only made it through 2 :)
Monday came and we did lunch at Cracker Barrel (I got a Coke because I was able to order my drink before my grandpa arrived. Now that I think about it, I don’t think Cracker Barrel even has alcohol) with the weirdest waitress EVER. I don’t even know where to begin with how weird she was…so I wont!
Then Kelley and Karen drove me all the way to the Denver airport to drop me off. I slept on the flight home…which was only an hour and a half. Wow!
SO! That was my trip and that is why I was exhausted :) IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH FUN!!!! Thank you again to my family for having me out! I would do it again in a heart beat! ______________________________________________________________________________
I’m heading back to Kirksville early tomorrow morning to do 4 (possibly 5) photo shoots! I have a newborn shoot, a 10 month shoot, a 6 month shoot and pictures of my sister in laws little brother. Wish me luck! I will try and get a post up tomorrow of the AWESOME birth announcements I did for my new, squishy, too cute little nephew Lincoln :) I also have to announce the winners from my last blog contest. I will try and do that tomorrow evening.
GO BOOK A SLOT FOR THE SEPTEMBER 11TH MINI SHOOTS :)
P.S.- Thanks for all the comments on my disgusting foot…awesome! I was kinda hoping to get more comments on Dylan :) ha!
