Eoghan and I went to Colorado last Thursday. I thought I if I got on the road super early morning that Eoghan would sleep part of the way. We were on the road by 2:30 am and Eoghan didn't fall asleep until about 9:45 am, however he woke up at 10:15 so... It was not very long. He was a wake for most of the drive watching Curious George (thanks to my in laws for the portable DVD player). He was super good in the car. I didn't hit much traffic, I only had a dead stop in Wyoming for construction. Not sure why though, they weren't working on the road at call, but cars were backed up for about 4 miles. Around noon we stopped at McDonalds for lunch. We were 20 minutes outside of Denver. So we took our time eating and Eoghan was talking up a storm (didn't catch what he was talking about, mostly gibber).
Once we got to my cousin Cherie's house we hung out with her kids Seb & Charlotte. Cherie had to work part of the day and was on her way home. Once she got here we went to the store to get mixings for dips and chips. My cousin Ryan (Cherie's brother), aunt Jean (my dad's sister, Ryan & Cherie's mom) and my uncle Jef (my dad's brother) & his family from Chicago came over for chips and dip before going out to dinner in down town Denver. Eoghan was being adored over left and right. He was loving it!
Friday July 3rd we drove up to Greeley Colorado. My Uncle Jef, Aunt Kim, Cousins Ryan, Angie, Christina, Jordan and I went to a Kid Rock concert that night. It was a good concert!
Then on the 4th we went to the rodeo up there. We drove back to Denver and everyone got things together for a late picnic dinner up the mountains to watch fire works. Eoghan and I went to stay with my cousins Ryan and Angie. They have a beautiful house in Morrison CO. It's up a mountain and they have 4 acres. Eoghan loved their dog Boomer.
The 5th we mostly went shopping and ran around here and there. We had a family dinner that night at Angie & Ryan's then went to do smores.
Eoghan and I left on the 6ths in the afternoon. It was a long drive home. Eoghan was pretty good but I had to stop a few more times than I would have liked. Over all it was fun and great to see some family that I haven't seen in a couple of years.
Here are just a few of the pictures we got

Glad you had a fun time with family! The DVD players keep my kids awake too. We have it on in the day, and then just music on at night...
