Weekend In Minnesota

Friday afternoon we headed up to Minnesota to attend Aunt Libby and (soon to be) Uncle David's MN couples shower.  Since we were in another state with people Riley didn't know we opted to bring her rather than leave her with the nanny and other kiddos. 
All dressed up for the shower

Luckily, she was wonderful.  Even so wonderful to last until almost 10pm before heading back to the hotel.  After Riley was fast asleep, Brett made his way down to the hotel bar and brought us each a drink up to the room. After finishing our drinks, Grandma Kathy came to our room so that we could go out with Libby, David, Wes (David's brother), and a couple of Libby and David's friends.  It was so much fun to be out and about.  Too bad I forgot what it's like to drink large amounts of alcohol.  Needless to say, Saturday I was not happy with myself! 

Saturday, Riley really decided to come out of her shell at the tailgait party (before the Twins Game) - I only wish I was able to see it firsthand! While I was back at the hotel "sleeping it off" Riley and Daddy went for brunch at Libby and David's.  Before Riley's afternoon nap we decided to take her down to the hotel pool to swim.  She loved it!  Her favorite part was jumping into the water into Daddy's arms.  Her least favorite part, going under water.  Saturday night we enjoyed a great dinner downtown and watched the final four games.  Riley was wonderful at dinner and loved pointing out every bus that drove by. Good thing a bus passed by about every 1-2 minutes! 
Look at that tush!  We forgot her swim diapers.

Sunday we were up by 8 and on the road by 9 to celebrate Easter with the Burch side of the family.  It was a great weekend and so good to see Libby and David.
