Labor Day Trip to Iowa

Over Labor Day, Bryan, Sam and I made the trip back to IA for a wedding. Sam handled the many hours in the car like a trooper- it gets easier each time we do it! We drove through some heavy rain as we left CO but look at this beautiful double rainbow we went through!

And then the rain-

 
We stopped first in Ames for the ISU/North Dakota State football game.  Sam enjoyed tailgating and did great during the game!  I was silly and only took a few pictures on my phone to document his first trip to Jack Trice-

From there we headed to CR and had an early birthday party with our parents and Bryan's sister.  Safe to say Sam is loved and spoiled!  He had a great little party to kick off the birthday festivities! 

Sunday, our friend Maria was married in a beautiful Labor Day ceremony.  Here's a picture of us outside of the reception as we sent Sam home with Nana.

We helped my parents move a few loads from Newton to their new house in Ames on Monday before heading back to CO early Tuesday morning.  It was a great quick trip home!!
