We got to the Hotel around 12:30p.m., and by the time we got settled in, we were all really hungry! So off to Red Robin we went, yummy! Afterwords, Ryszard, Brock, and I went back to the hotel for some R&R, and Kornelia went to the Denver LDS Temple to attend Wendy's Endowment Session. When everyone returned, we all walked over to the Trail Dust Steakhouse for a roping good time with our new sister in laws' family. What a cute little place. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered dessert {Apple Crumble} but I also had a few bites of Ryszard's prime rib which was very very tasty! Kornelia loved the western fun complete with a live country band and line dancing. The walls were covered with colorful fabric ties. I never really figured out WHY they were on the wall, but it looked cool! See for yourself:
Saturday Morning was filled with very special memories. Ryszard's brother Adrian was married to Wendy Lynn Williams for time and all eternity in the Denver Colorado LDS Temple. After lots of picture taking, we had brunch, and then we headed up to Cheyenne, Wyoming for a Ring Ceremony and the reception. Take a look at some of the fun:
Adrian recommended a great Italian restaurant called MAGGIANO'S Little Italy. It was just up the road from our hotel, so when we got back to Denver Saturday night, we went out for a late night dinner. To say that the food was first class and delicious would be an understatement! The inside looked like something right out of the "Sopranos". It was trimmed out with mahogany paneled columns, high coffered ceilings, and Venetian plaster walls. Our table was set up above everyone, in the back and dead center of the room. Ryszard and I felt somewhat like we were part of the "Family". Although I only got night pictures, here are a few snap shots:
Sunday, we all hopped on planes. Kornelia headed back home to Massachusetts, Adrian and Wendy to San Diego, CA for their honeymoon, and Ryszard, Brock, and I headed to Utah. We flew right over Orem, UT and I pointed out Nana's for Brock {Ryszard didn't think I could actually "see" Nana's house}, but it's pretty easy when you know what you're looking for!"
{Orem, UT sky view!}
Nana met us at the airport in SLC, and we were off to go to church and then to spend time introducing Brock to everyone. Brock was able to meet 6 out of the 13 family members we came to visit.

Our niece Julia has loved having Brock here. She is constantly asking to hold him, which is a nice break for my arms. Plus Julia is so great with Brock, and of course Brock is loving all the attention she gives him.

Brocky is SOOOO cute with his blue eyes and blonde fuzz---the little hair briggy has is DARK BROWN! (I was very blonde as a child) I always thought Id have little blonde babies...oh well!! looks like you are having so much fun!
Wow, Brock is really looking like a "little man" Sounds like all is well, have a blast with your family.
Brock looks so different in just a few weeks! He's adorable. Have fun in Utah...I'm jealous!
Love the close up of Brock in white, so cute! Oreos on the car, we had those when we got married and I will tell you what, it is a pain to get that cream off of the car. Good luck to them. Gotta love Mark and his faces in most pictures and Riley looks thrilled to be there. Can't wait to see you all very soon!
Oh....Your trip brought back sooo many memories! I got married at the Denver Temple AND my favorite steakhouse is Trail Dust! I am so jealous you were in CO. I am glad you had an easy flight with Brock. Don't you just love the vibration of an engine! Put Braxt to sleep in minutes. I never have been tempted to run a stop sign until I had a baby!
