Trip to New Mexico

So after Ryan's wedding we headed out to New Mexico for my sisters wedding. We left California on Wednesday morning. Tim, Shara and Kyla were now with us so we all got to fly together. All the kids did great on the plane. My parents picked us up in New Mexico in one of the big hotel vans. Thank goodness because we had a ton of luggage and baby gear. We made it to Taos late that afternoon and just went back to the house to hang out and unwind from a long day of traveling. We got to meet Shane's family who were all visiting from South Africa. On Thursday the boys played golf so I decided to take Brody and Connor to this place called Twirl. It's actually a toy shop that has this great outside play area where tons of kids play. Brody loved it! So many of the people in town for the wedding have babies so they met us there and then we all went to Bent Street deli for lunch. That night we headed to my uncle Pete's for the annual tequila party. It was a beautiful night and it was lots of fun watching all the kids play together. After that we headed back to my parents house for more fun. Friday all the girls got up and headed out to get our nails done. After that we all headed over to the reception site to get setup for the wedding. We had to assemble a tent, put the twinkle lights up and put the lanterns together. A lot of people showed up to help so we were able to get everything done and then head back to the house to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner was at my parents house. The food was great and it was so much fun getting to see friends and family I haven't seen in a long time. Saturday was the wedding was amazing and I'll do a separate post on that next.
