Happy Mother's Day trip to Minnesota!

Mother's Day weekend was a weekend of many firsts!

Last minute (on Wednesday prior), we decided to go to Minneapolis to visit Mark's family!  His family gets together every year on Mother's Day for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer walk to honor his mother, who past away from breast cancer.  Since we have moved to Colorado, we have not been able to go and join in on the fun.  Since Mark was off........off we went to Minneapolis!

This trip was go-go-go!  We literally were gone for only 30 hours (were we crazy!?!?)

The trip was Madi's 1st airplane ride!!!!!  Taylor traveled several times her 1st year of life but, of course, doesn't have any memories of it so it was a very special trip for her too!!!

Taylor was sooooo excited to "blast" off!!  She asked over and over and over and over if it was time to "blast off into the sky"!  And if any of you don't know Taylor (or me, too), she is a very loud child.  There is no such thing as an "inside voice".  So, needless to say, we had several people around us chuckling at the comments that were coming out of her mouth while waiting to go.

Madi did wonderful for her first time flying!!!  Taylor.....got bored once we "blasted" and I furiously tried to entertain her for the hour and half flight.

Love my Madi sloppy wet kisses!!!

Yes, Taylor is sprawled on my lap.....

Look in the background, underneath the window......

See the drawing in the background in the picture above........yes, that would be Taylor's rendition of a hat!!!  She decided to decorate the airplane while I was playing patty-cake with Madi.

Saturday night, we had dinner with many of Mark's extended family.  It was the first time that most of them had ever met Madi!

Here is Mark's dad, Jim, with Taylor.....

And Jim with "his girls"........ Kathy( his girlfriend), Taylor and 2 of her cousins.

Doesn't get any cuter!!!

And 24 hours after we arrived........we were back on an airplane headed home!

Needless to say, the flight back went much smoother.......we all slept!!!  It was an exhausting trip!  I don't think that I will ever take as quick of a trip like that ever again.  It took me several days to recover from that!!!

It was a great Mother's Day!!  I hope all you momma's out there enjoyed your special day, too!
