The Walker Family: Vail, Colorado

All of us had a "first" this past weekend. Patrick and I had our first taste of Vail, Colorado, Adeline made her debut as a flower girl in my cousin's wedding, and Charlie went on his first flight....and it was our first trip as a family of 4 on a plane! The kids were awesome travelers even with the early morning the day we left. After having been woken up at 4:30 am, Adeline was the most happy 2 year old one could imagine. She was all smiles walking through the airport, and she was pretty much all smiles throughout the weekend being with lots of family. Well, she did have a few moments of sadness before the wedding when her new, fancy shoes gave her 3 blisters...poor thing!

We had a wonderful weekend. Vail was gorgeous, the weather couldn't have been better, and we spent lots of time with my extended family. The wedding was beautiful! Here's a sampling of photos from the weekend...the photos may be a little flower girl heavy! :)

Charlie taking a snooze...

Charlie and mommy at the rehearsal dinner which was so much fun!

Walking around Vail Village....Addie and her buddy Albert (yes, Albert Einstein)

Adeline & Evalyn were both flower girls, and they did such a good job...couldn't have been more adorable!

sharing some snacks before the ceremony

the ceremony was outdoors in a very large field/garden. The wedding party had to walk a great distance to get to where the aisle for the ceremony was. Here's daddy trying to keep Addie running in the right direction. The kids ended up running through this field....it was the most unplanned yet precious thing everyone had ever seen.
