Weekend Wedding Fun (2nd wedding)

On Friday morning, Evie, Brian and I jumped into the Mazda and drove 4.5 hours to new Hampshire to witness my Step-cousin getting married!  I was dreading the ride with Eviekins - that is a long time being stuck in a car seat with nothing fun to do but I have to say - it was awesome.  We left at 9am and Evie promptly fell asleep- we made our first stop at 11 for lunch and bathroom break and Evie had fun eating someplace new, running around the rest stop like a crazy lady and greeting every new person she met.  We headed back out and made it to New Hampshire by 1:30 with no more stops and with Evie sleeping most of the way.  We relaxed for a little bit at the hotel, got ready and jumped back in the car to make it to the wedding - Evie chocked on a fishy cracker as we pulled out of the parking lot, threw up all over her new dress so there was a panicked trip back into the hotel to grab the other dress that Mommy had enough good sense to grab as we left that morning - a lot of wipes used to clean up the mess and then a rushed trip to the wedding venue.  The ceremony was beautiful, short and sweet, but Evie and Brian missed it cause she didn't want to sit still anymore (can you blame her at this point!)  but she was part of the ceremony - Everyone could hear her saying "WEEEE" as Brian pusher her around outside - it was pretty darn cute:)  Evie then had a blast at the reception - running around, greeting everyone once again and dancing up a storm - by the end of the night Brian and I were exhausted from chasing her all over the place.  We went back to the hotel, got into bed (we let Evie share our King size bed, which was a new experience because she always sleeps in her crib at home) I couldn't sleep because of the noise and because Evie is a little wiggle worm when she is a sleep, and once I did fall asleep, we were all rudely awoken by the fire alarm at 2:30 in the morning.  Some idiot - who attended the wedding- decided to pull a fire alarm and we had to evacuate the hotel, stand outside in the rain for 30 minutes and then had to deal with putting Evie back to sleep again.  Needless to say, we drove home the next day with no sleep but Evie was once again amazing on the trip home so I really can't complain.  Even though it was a very eventful/stressful weekend - it was also amazing to witness yet another wedding and it was wonderful to be reunited with family I haven't seen in 20 years!!  I am sad to say I forgot the camera so I won't be able to share cute pictures of this trip.
