Wedding Weekend

Last weekend, Tim, Harrison, and I ventured North to Mount Pleasant, Texas for Tim's cousin's wedding.  Mount Pleasant is about a 3-3.5 hour drive, so we left Friday evening with hopes that Harrison would sleep most of the way.  Not so much.  He slept some of the way, fussed a little, played, and slept some more.  He was alseep when we finally arrived at our hotel after 10pm, but woke up ready to go when we got him out of the car.  We let him play and explore the hotel for a little while and decided it was time for all of us to go to bed since Saturday was a big day.  We took the pack 'n' play and everything from his crib here at home (that way bedtime would be as close to home as possible).  Much to our surprise, we put him in the pack 'n' play, he played for a little while, and then crashed.  He slept great!!  Tim and I on the other hand didn't sleep too well because my sinuses were acting up. 

Saturday morning, Tim went to play golf with the groom and several other guys and Harrison and I went to the bridal brunch. Yes, Harrison hung out with a BUNCH of girls! He did a great job though!
Playing with my water bottle and watching cartoons before brunch.
After brunch, we went back to the hotel and took a nap while waiting for Tim to get home from golfing.  Again, much to my surprise, Harrison did a great job napping!  We relaxed and Harrison did some more exploring.  He loved the mirror that was low enough for him to stand up and look at himself in.  He would just stand there smiling and giving himself kisses.  He also liked the luggage rack that he could shake and make lots of noise! 

Yes, he did that to himself!  His face is blurry because he was on the move!

The wedding was Saturday night, and Harrison did AWESOME!  He was super quiet in church and he did great at the reception.  He got a little fussy after dinner, but it was past his bedtime and he was tired of being confined to someone's lap the whole time.  He wanted to crawl around and play, but there were lots of people walking around, so it wasn't the best idea.  When he got him back to the hotel, he crawled back and forth squealing as loud as he could.

Sunday morning we had breakfast and then started home.  We stopped for lunch on the way home and to let Harrison get out of his carseat and stretch. 



I think he enjoyed his weekend away, but he was ready to be back home!  Once we got home we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather with a walk around the neighborhood. 


It was a great weekend, but it's nice to be home! 


Congratulations Brad and Mandie Payne!  The wedding was beautiful!!
