On Saturday afternoon, we went out to Littleton to celebrate Bryn's wedding. It was a wonderful celebration at a beautiful location and the weather cleared just in time!! Thanks for including us in your special day, Bryn!
Gram and Auntie were having fun taking pics while Mom finished getting ready (and Dad paced because he was annoyed that Mom wasn't ready... hehehe)
There were big busses that brought us from the hotel to the venue

Enjoying my first bag of fruit snacks during the ceremony... Mom gave me 4 bags of fruit snacks and a box of raisins to keep me happy and quiet during the ceremony... :)

We tried taking some pics on the water front, but I wasn't really into having my picture taken...
Mom and Dad exasperated that I wasn't cooperating
investigating Colorado grass to see if it was different than Pennsylvania grass
decided I would smile with Auntie

The next day we flew home. We had to fly on US Air through Charlotte because Frontier doesn't fly to Harrisburg from Denver on Sundays. It worked out fine, though, and mom even survived the
CRJ-900 from Charlotte to Harrisburg!
tired!! We (well I) slept almost the whole way to Charlotte!
This past weekend Mom, Dad and I flew out to Denver for cousin Bryn's wedding. We met Auntie Carly and Gram there, and had lots of fun together!! Bryn's wedding was beautiful and it was great to meet my West Coast family!
On thursday AM, I woke up all excited for the trip!
On the plane! We flew Frontier direct from Harrisburg to Denver.
I got to watch Mickey Mouse Club House
Daddy was super tired because he had worked overnight and got home at 8:30 am! He only got 2 hours of sleep!
While we were flying, Auntie and Gram got to go visit Cathy!
When we got there, we had dinner at the hotel with Gram, Uncle Bruce and Auntie. I got to hang out with them while Mom and Dad checked in; the restaurant was right by the hotel entrance, so Auntie came and got me as soon as we walked in. For dinner, I had some super yummy mac and cheese and white chocolate ice cream!
On Friday, we got up and decided to go to the Denver Aquarium. I got ride like a big girl in the fancy Escalade Hotel Shuttle.
Look at all of the fish!!
A big ray swam over us in a glass tunnel; his face was cool!
A super big grouper
Auntie and Mom selfie!
A scuba diver came by...
...then she smiled and waived -- it was scary!! I screamed and jumped right into Daddy's arms!!
random tiger at the aquarium...
bright coral reef fish!
Mom's favorite...
staring at the sharks...
I got to touch a ray.. it was super slimy!! I really wanted to put some anti-bac gel on it, but Mom and Dad wouldn't let me.
After we went through the aquarium, we ate in the fun dining room right next to the fish!
After the aquarium, we decided to go up to Boulder. We really wanted to see the mountains, but it was pretty cloudy so our view was limited; we still got to see some of the closer mountains, though.

We took a more scenic route home since it was rush hour and the highway was all backed up
passed the Coors brewery on the way home
it was ginormous!!
it even smelled like beer as we drove by...
That night we met cousin Evan's family; we had never met his wife Elena (or his kids!). I was sad that I didn't get to meet Evan, but he is in Afghanistan right now and I hope he stays safe and comes home soon!
Mom and Elena selfie!
After dinner, we went back to the hotel bar and the Jorgensen clan showed up! I got to meet Cathy, Stan, Whitney and Bryn quickly before Mom and Dad took me to bed.
Whitney, Gram, Uncle Bruce, Cathy, and Auntie
On Saturday morning, we wandered around Larimar Square (a cute shopping area near our hotel) and then found a fun playground nearby.

View from the playground
I got to go on the big slide with Dad!
I also got to go on a smaller slide by myself!
this playground has some fun toys!
After the playground, we went back to the hotel so I could take a nap before Bryn's wedding!!
A while ago Amber had told Mom that we needed to go to the creamery at the Milton Hershey School because they have super yummy ice cream! It is only open from 12-2 on certain days of the week in the summer, and we just never were in the area when it was open. Well today we were driving home from the rink and happened to pass by while it was open. Lucky thing, too, since it is closing for the season tomorrow! I got a cone of Blueberry ice cream and we also got two half-gallons of ice cream. It was yummy!!
