Labor Day 2011

Yes, our weekend was loaded! The wedding and then packed Labor Day. So much fun resulting in exhaustion! Colorado Balloon Classic 2011 with the Gaws! Made it for the launch at 7am. Donuts and juice is officially a tradition......2 years running. We could see our breathe this early Sept 5 morning.....but that didn't slow the donut consumption! Our favorite balloon......reminded us of new movie "RIO." Daddy and Kai-man. Mommy and Eli keeping warm together. Buddies, Campbell and Kai. By 8:30am we were on the road to meet little Gavin in Denver. We finally made it up to welcome Brian and Lindsey's little guy! So precious! They are doing a great job with this cutie pie! Unfortunately, after leaving little Gavin we headed to IKEA on Labor Day. Yeah, that was stupid. First mistake, we WOKE the kids to shop after only 1 hr of sleep. We were in awe at the store for about 10 mins. Then Derrick and I had a similar feeling, "get us outta here!" It was a never ending path at that point amongst every shelf, candle, picture, etc etc that you could ever imagine. I thought shopping was bad with the kids on a normal basis......add several thousand people and an oversized double stroller and you can only imagine the experience. Next IKEA trip will be leisurely with my husband or girlfriend while sipping coffee and will be on a weekday. Wow-zers! Here's the proof we made it.
