We took the long trip to Fort Collins, CO last week for a very special occasion--Josh and Liz's wedding!
Lee was unable to drive out with us, due to work issues, so my mom, the boys and I left in the van last Wednesday morning and arrived to Fort Collins 12 hours later on Wednesday evening. It's a ten hour drive, but with two kids, it easily turns into a 12 hour trip. The boys, however, traveled very well!
Josh met us at our hotel shortly after we arrived to go swimming with the kids. The boys swam many times a day at our hotel and loved every second of it!
Josh, Tyler, and Brady in the pool.

Thursday morning after breakfast at the hotel, we headed out to an awesome park! Liz and her mom met us at the park for some play time. This park was great! It included a large park with awesome equipment, tunnels, bridges, etc. for the kids to run around and play on. It also had a splash park for them to cool off in and it also included a large sand box area. The boys loved it!

Spring Canyon Park in Fort Collins. Great!
There was a little creek down below outside our hotel room window. The boys enjoyed watching the ducks swim by.
Quiet time before nap. Watching a movie on the little DVD player.
Friday evening was the rehearsal. The boys weren't quite sure of what to think about everything and everyone. They were pretty quiet, but they DID walk down together and even holding hands!
Me and my little handsome boys.
Brady, Mom, Tyler, and Uncle Josh.
Walking down together and holding hands!
Of course Liz, being the awesome person that she is, thought about the kids and bought a bag full of fun toys to play with at dinner on Friday night. These glasses were in the bag of goodies. Tyler got a kick out of them!
Lee flew into town on Saturday morning for the wedding. Their wedding was outside at a bed and breakfast in Fort Collins. It was beautiful! I didn't take many pictures of the actual wedding. I was more focused on the wedding itself and making sure the boys stayed partly quiet. I'm hoping to see some great photos from the photographer of the wedding. The boys walked down the "aisle" on Saturday, but did not hold hands. Brady was a good 2 feet in front of Tyler, actually! It was still cute!
Our family before the wedding.
The boys with Lauryn, who was also in the wedding with her big brother, Dylan. Lauryn is Tyler's age, but was just a smidge taller than Brady! They all looked so cute!
Handsome Brady.
I love this picture! Grandma with her boys.
Before the ceremony, Liz and the kids took a horse and carriage ride to the other side of the building before walking down. The boys had fun with this!
The groom with his nephews.
Josh and Liz Freese!
Tyler can't quite get enough of his Uncle Josh.
Pretty sure one of the boys took this picture of my mom and I. It turned out pretty good, though!
Looks like these two are about ready to kiss, but really they are just checking to see how much taller Lauryn is than Brady. Again, Lauryn is 4 and Brady is 2.
My new sis and I! Doesn't she look beautiful!
Bride and Groom doing their first dance.
Josh and Liz dancing with Brady and Tyler.
Tyler danced with Lauryn for just a few seconds! :)
There was a basement with a pool table and dart board. It was a perfectly cool place to cool off from the heat upstairs for a little bit.
Josh dancing and swinging with Tyler and Me dancing and swinging with Brady. We did A LOT of this!
I even got to dance with my hubby for one dance!
CONGRATULATIONS to Josh and Liz!
We are so happy for them and there future together!
It was such a great vacation and fun wedding!
