Some Good Times

One of the nice things about driving all night ws that we got to spend 3 full days in Conejos Canyon. We got to get up and work out a bit. Well the girls did (and Mae and Owen got in a bit also), poor Sean had to take the car in to get checked out. The check engine light came on a couple hours from Antinito. Luckily its all good and we just need to change the spark plugs when we get back.

Then it was time to head back to the Hurley Cabin for the rehearsal dinner. We got there early about 2:45 so we could just hangout and play. It was nice, really hot but nice. Being so close to the sun makes it so much hotter. I kept us all lathered in SPF 50 no burning allowed.

So you can see my red boots in this picture. I wore them all weekend and became known as Girl with the Red Boots. I was just excited to get to wear them for real in a dry dusty area. I must say I had the cleanest feet of everyone there and now my boots are much cooler all roughed up by the Conejos Canyon dirt.

After the rehearsal dinner there was a talent show. None of us did anything during that but we had a pretty fun dance party after. It was awesome because the kids got down and danced it up!

Then Gma and Papa Mac took the kids home for us and we were able to stay and dance for awhile. Thanks dudes, it was so nice not to have to worry about the kids.

The Big Day!!

Happy Wedding Day! Perfect day not gonna lie. First up Hair and Make-up, that's where I come in. It was probably one of my favorite wedding updos I've ever done. Her hair did just what I wanted it to, and I did it in the Tack Shed, so cool. First time I've ever done that.

When I got back from doing her hair Mae was so excited to tell me about the Bear that her and Sean saw at our cabin. Sean was able to snap a photo of it too. So crazy, it was around our cabin all weekend knocking over the BBQ, and garbage cans.

Time to head back to the Hurley's for the Wedding. It was so cool they got married by the river, Megan rode in on her horse with her dad, and then after the ceremony Megan and Ben paddled off in a canoe.

Let the reception begin....... Awesome authentic local Mexican food, they made fresh corn tortillas on site. Fun dessert of Carmel Apples. Activities for the kids, Mae couldn't get enough of the swing and Piñata. Not to mention the ridiculous dance party.

There were so many people on the dance floor and Owen was so tired that I decided that the best solution was to wear him on my back. Turns out people the day after were talking about the party being so amazing, for many reasons, but one of those reasons was the Girl with the Red Boots not only did a knee slide, she then danced the night away with a baby on her back. Truly I didn't want to miss out the party was that fun.

I can't forget that Sean also crowd surfed. EPIC night!

We Made It

We finally made it to Conejos Cayon and at our place of residence for the week. The kids were so happy to get out of the car and be able to really run around and explore the new place.

We had to unload quick like so we could get to the Hurley Cabin, where all the weekends events were to happen.

The first night was a Sausage feast. So delicious, and really nice to eat some good food not on the road. Everyone was there when we got there, even Auntie Brook arrived for the feast.

It was so insanely dusty in Conejos Caynon you can see the dust particles in the air like dirty little snow flakes.

Hehe Sean and Megan making amazing faces :)
The next 2 pics are Ben and Megan the happy wedding couple.
Ps I was sneaking upon people and taking close ups which resulted in awesome pics..

On The Road

We are on the road. A road trip from Spokane to Antonito, CO it has taken us 23.5 hours to make it. I will say it hasn't been the worst thing ever. We are splitting the drive between 6 people and napping in-between turns. The kids have also been troopers and have only had a few meltdowns, but the benefit of driving all night is that they slept most of the drive. Yay! 5 hour energy has also been our friend. I know I would not have made it through my first shift if I didn't drink that little shot of goodness.
