This weekend was Alex's grandma's birthday so we headed to Wyoming for a family reunion. We got to Star Valley around 7:30 on Friday night. We got some dinner and then went to check in at our hotel. There was no one at the office and the sign said they would be back at 9:00. We tried to go visit Alex's Aunt Celeste, but no one was home. So, we went to his grandma's and visited with her for a little while. We were finally able to check in to our hotel at 10:00. This was honestly the worst hotel experience ever! First of all not being able to check in. Second the room smelled bad. Then, the bed was so hard! I really did not sleep all night. My hips and shoulders ached from lying on my side. Alex told me that all of his limbs were asleep from the pressure on his hips and shoulders! The next morning I went to shower and the bottom of the shower was almost black. It was disgusting! It was not a good hotel and I will never, ever stay there again!
Well, enough complaining. The rest of the weekend was actually pretty good. On Saturday we went to Grandma Hoopes' house and Alex, Sally, and Macee rode horses. After that we went to Aunt Celeste's and had the birthday party/ reunion. The boys all went swimming in the river and the rest of us visited and prepared dinner. We then had dinner and then played in the yard. I played Bocce with Alex and his uncle Richard for the first time. It was a lot of fun. Plus, Alex and I were losing 6-0 and came back and won! That night we had a bonfire and just talked and sang songs. Sunday morning Alex and I went to church and then had breakfast at Aunt Celeste's. It was a pretty fun weekend, even if I am exhausted from not being able to sleep on the hard bed!

Looks like life for you is busy too, enjoy being pregnant everything goes by so fast and faster when they get here. Congrats on everything, keep in touch through this blogging
That story reminded me of our trip to St. Louis. Our hotel in Lincoln Nebraska sounds like your except change the hard bed for a soaked floor. We didn't dare take our shoes off.
Well shoot--sleeping on hard matresses when you are pregnant is the worst!!!! Hopefully you got a little extra rest when you got home. BTW you looked so cute the other day at work with you little belly. I am just so excited for you.
You will have to ask Alex if he knows Tucker and Laurie Winters. They are our really good friends. I believe that grew up there. I am sorry for the bad experience at the hotel. Not to mention, sleeping is a hard to do when you are pregnant even if you have a nice mattress.
