First time in the sky

The girls went on an adventure in the skies and took their first flight to Denver Colorado for my cousin's KC's wedding.  We took a lot of time to prepare for the trip with lists and lists of to do's and items to pack in preparation for the big trip.

Two car seats, two strollers, three suitcases, one diaper bag and a backpack was all we needed to make it to the airport.

 

 
The girls slept the entire flight.  They enjoyed a bottle at take off and did not wake up until after we landed.  Even during the turbulent air that made my tummy rumble the girls continued to sleep peacefully in our laps.  We were lucky on our flight out of Indy to Denver to have a seat in between Sam and I for extra room while we held the girls in our laps.
 
When we landed in Denver the girls rode the Tram which took us to baggage claim.
 
We made it in time for the rehearsal dinner where my grandparents, the girls GREAT GRANDPARENTS met the girls for the first time.  It was a special moment for 4 generations to be together at a family event.

We enjoyed a beautiful rehearsal dinner and enjoyed spending time with the family.  The girls were wonderful travelers and adapted well to their surroundings.

The next day we had breakfast with Sam's aunt and uncle who lived very near to our hotel.  We were so happy they could meet the girls and we could catch up over breakfast.

Next, we headed over to my aunt and uncle's house (parents of the groom) to spent the day hanging out with the family.  It was one of my favorite parts of the wedding weekend.  We all live in different cities and states, and even countries, so it was very special to spend time together.

Cousin Geoffrey the Best Man

The walk was down a long path, so KC waited until he could see his bride close up before he saw her for the first time.  Geoffrey told KC when to turn around.  This enabled the couple to see each others expressions together for the first time.  I thought it was so sweet.

After the ceremony during the reception the girls wanted to stretch out and play.  We out the girls down on a blanket and they wiggled around and shared lots of laughs before dinner

The girls were troopers and they lasted until around 9pm Denver time, or 11pm Indy time.  Sam, is a super dad and he took the girls home while I was able to stay and celebrate with my family.  I two-stepped with my brother which was a highlight.  I also was able to see my grandparents dance on the dance floor.  It was quite a party!
 
The girls slept the entire flight on the trip back to Indy.  We were not as lucky on the return flight, and we could not sit in the same row with an empty seat.  But we did sit across the aisle from each other.
 
We were so glad we were able to spend time together with my family and could celebrate KC and Kelly's wedding.  Until our next adventure..... can't wait for the opportunity each and every to create memories with the girls.  We are glad you could embrace traveling, I see many family trips in our future.
