Our Trip to Brainerd

On Saturday we made a trip to Brainerd for a wedding. Ben's cousine Kevin got married. So, we decided to make the trip. We left Blue Earth Saturday morning around 8 o'clock and started our travels. Devin fell a sleep pretty fast and slept almost to 1 1/2 hours. Which was nice for us. But after that he needed a little company in the backseat with him. We stopped in St. Cloud to eat lunch. We have been trying new foods with Devin here and there. Today I tried part of a grilled cheese sandwich, which he loved it. He was able to hold onto it himself and did an okay job eating it. When we finally got to Brainerd, Devin and I went to my Uncle Jerry's house for a little while before we had to get ready. There was so much to do there and people to play with. And I can't forget about the dog. Devin got ahold of some of her hair and the dog took off and started to pull Devin with her.
Here Devin is playing with my cousin Katy. This was the first time that she has met him.
After the wedding we went to the Timbermist for the reception. We sat with another couple and their two kids. Ben's Aunt Cindy introduced us to them and we then found out that they are the couple that Cindy takes care of their kids. It was a nice reception and Devin had lots of fun, even without a well needed nap. Ben and I were able to eat our Dinner because his Uncle Rick offered to take Devin for us. They had a good time.

He was such a ham. Devin was full of smiles and giggles for everyone. He didn't care who had him.
He didn't want to share his toys.
Anything he can get his hands on goes right to his mouth.

At this point he was starting to get tried. Meaning it was time to go. This was the first time Devin has slept overnight anywhere, but at home. He did really well.
