It's day 4 and I've likely said it already but dang, time is flying with these two treasures. We have another absolutely gorgeous day -- best thing about June - and since it's Friday, I have the car to get us downtown. Hello Klyde Warren Park. Let's be friends today.
Cassie and Scott are in Dallas for a friend's baby shower and I couldn't be happier. I have Hyrum and Zyra staying with me so they have opted for a hotel downtown. Even though we just saw each other in Billings for Rhiana's wedding, it's fun to have some one on one time together as well. The wedding was just crazyville.
Tonight we are meeting up at Cane Rosso for dinner and we have the added bonus of Miss Ophelia. This time she isn't quite as afraid of leaving mommy's arms, but it only lasts for about 30 seconds. Someday -- I'll be patient and she'll want to climb into my arms too. After dinner, we are homeward bound to put our two charges to bed and we'll see Scott and Cass again tomorrow night. They are busy throughout the day with friends and we get the nights. Works.
When morning dawns, the kids want a little time to just play. I can't say as I blame them even one little bit and the toy closet is quickly raided. Well -- that's what it is for. We are opting for a "stay home and chill" day and the next request is for a movie. I can handle that and so turn Hyrum's bed into a comfy place for two and let the fun begin.
The wedding is behind us and it is time to return to Texas. However ---- we have the bonus prize. We are taking two grands home with us for while. Woot Woot. With an early morning start, we have the rental car loaded and are soon on our way to Denver. Yes, one granddaughter flew up with us and two grands are going back. Such fun times. I cannot explain how much I love these times.
Good Morning from the top of the world. Well, at least it feels that way today. Oh, remember our two little charges from last night -- you know, Grandpa putting them to bed. HAHAHAHAHA Well that didn't last long and Malea was ALL OVER Elena. Grandpa to the rescue again. He put the two chairs together and made a snug little bed for Malea. Yay -- we all go to sleep finally.
Waking in Billings to an absolutely beautiful day, it's hard to tell that the weather was so crazy yesterday. Woohoo --- at least the wedding day will go smooth. Mister and I are off to wander around downtown before meeting my ENTIRE family for a breakfast Mister and I are hosting at McCormick's Cafe. 
We find a coffee shop, peek in antique shop windows and work our way down to the restaurant to make sure everything is in order. Dang, for some reason they are not prepared for us at all and will now be setting up the room that I reserved a month ago. Can you say frustrated?
My daughter, Rhiana, is getting married this tomorrow. That means we need to get our backsides out of Texas and up to Montana pronto. We picked up Bekah from camp yesterday and are taking her with us as her family has already left and let's face it --- a car ride from Texas to Montana with four brothers or a quick flight to Denver and then a drive with the backseat all to herself and QUIET old people? Seems like a no-brainer to me. The flight is early and goes well. In no time, we have a rental car and are on the road. This is not a stop-and-play type of trip. We are on the move to make a dress rehearsal dinner tonight and it's at least 8 hours from Denver to Billings. Drive Mister, drive.
