This month we took you on another long trip. This time we went to Boone, North Carolina for another wedding. This drive was shorter but you were definitely more aware and did not like being in your car seat for that long. We left on a Thursday morning and met up with Uncle Dusty and Uncle Bogan in Chattanooga. I think they were excited to see you. The last time they saw you you were only 2 months old. You have definitely grown and changed since then. After lunch in Chattanooga we hit the road again. Aunt Reagan had to stop and pee more than your diaper needed to change. You offered her one of your diapers but she didn't take it.
Once we got to North Carolina and unloaded we decided to get back in the car and head up the road to a Mexican Restaurant that Uncle Dusty had scoped out on an earlier visit. It was very good!! After this, it was time for bed. Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Dusty, Uncle Bogan, and you all slept in the same room. Lucky for us we got to sleep in the bed while they had to sleep on an air mattress. Unlucky for us the bed was very uncomfortable. You also slept in the bed with us because you haven't been sleeping well in your pack-n-play. After a good nights rest the next morning we hung out at our cottage. Daddy, Uncle Bogan, Uncle Dusty, and Aunt Reagan went zip lining. They had a blast!!! Then we went downtown for a little shopping. Aunt Jenelle bought you a cute cat lunch box and Mommy bought you a few books. Then it was time to go back to the cottage to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. We got lost and went 20 miles out of the way but finally found it and enjoyed an evening out together. Everyone thought you were precious.
The next day MiMi, Aunt Jenelle, Uncle Bogan, and Uncle Dusty had to help put together flowers for the wedding. So Aunt Reagan, Mommy, and you went down to the outlets to see if we could find you some school clothes. I ended up finding some, but we couldn't really find you any :( After we finished it was time to come home and get ready for the wedding. It was outside and we were really afraid it was going to rain but it ended up being very pretty. Here are a few pictures of you with the family at the reception. Oh....during the wedding your daddy had to walk you back up to the inn to sit with Ry because you kept talking. You could see the wedding from the deck of the inn and even then during the ceremony MiMi and I could hear you talking!!
Daddy was so sweet and ended up bring you back early so you could go to bed but let Mommy stay at the reception and enjoy some time with my family. When I got home you were sound asleep and I was ready to cuddle up next to you to do the same.
The next day we decided to head out a little and go to some cute shops downtown. We found some really interesting things and enjoyed getting to walk around such a cute little community. This is where your bird painting with "You are my sunshine" came from. This was such a great find since I sing this to you a lot when you get upset.
Finally on Monday we decided to cut our trip a day short and head back home. Again you weren't a big fan of the car trip but you handled it pretty well. I know you were glad to be home. Two long trips in one summer so close together was a lot!
Daddy and I have loved making these memories with you this summer.
Love,
Mommy
