I decided that I wanted to go back to Wyoming/Colorado when my parents flew home, because it was a chance to see both of my sisters. My sister, Gelsey, lives in Colorado, and my sister, Lindsey, would be in town to run the Bolder Boulder 10k, so I wanted to join the party. :)
My parents and I were able to get on the same flight back to Colorado on Wednesday, May 21. I had my littlest passenger with me, but it is probably the easiest he will ever be on a flight. ;)
I spent a couple days in Laramie with just my parents before Lindsey got to Colorado. I always enjoy going back home, and it was so relaxing to be kid-free and have nothing going on! With all the craziness of school, graduation, dance, etc back in Minnesota, I almost didn't know what to do with myself! Not that I am complaining...
We went to Fort Collins on Friday. It was so fun to have our family all together again. We spent the weekend celebrating my nephew, Bode's, 6th birthday, hitting up the Memorial Day sales at the outlet mall, and enjoying time together. My sister's in-laws even took her kids for a couple days, so we had some time where it was just our family, or us sisters. I don't think that has happened since before my sister Lindsey had her first kid...almost 12 years ago!
On Monday, we spent most of the day at the CU campus while my sisters rocked the Bolder Boulder. I just got to be an observer, due to my 6 months pregnant status, but maybe some year they can convince me to do it with them!
Unfortunately, the week went too fast (as they always seem to when you are having fun!) and on Tuesday, May 27th, it was time to return home. This time at the airport I discovered that being pregnant qualifies you for preboarding on Southwest. Good to know! I don't mind having to go on early and have my choice of seats. ;)
It was such a great week. I loved getting to spend some relaxing, kid-free time with my family, while also knowing my kids were in the best of hands back home with their dad, Aunt Cindy, and cousin Katie. I definitely couldn't have done it without them!
Now, when is my next momcation??
