Denver's First Trip to the Black Hills

Denver had his first experience of a LONG road trip which was to the Black Hills. We went with the Waltner/Schmeichel family. During our time there we went to my cousin Ethan's 2 soccer games and hung out with the family and relaxed the rest of the time (Evan did go fishing....but unfortunately he had no luck AGAIN! I'm beginning to think fish can smell him and say don't go close to him...just kidding honey!). Denver did very well with the long drive. He did have one screaming/crying fit on the way out there, but the rest of the time he was perfect! We did take our portable DVD player along and let him watch Baby Einstein towards the end of the trip on the way out there and on the way back as we were running out of ways to entertain him (sorry for those who disapprove of a 9 month old watching videos, but we all had to stay sane and he loves them!). Here are some pictures from Ethan's first soccer game the night we got there. The first 2 pictures are courtesy of my sister (Yea! Finally some pictures of Mommy and Denver!). These days it seems my hands are a little tied up that I don't get many pictures taken anymore when we are out and about so I don't have many pictures from our trip.

Our whole family stayed in a cabin while we were in the hills. My cousin Paula brought her dog Max along who Denver absolutely LOVES. Where ever Max was is where Denver wanted to be or he had to at least be able to see him. Here's a video of them together.

Before ending this post I have a little prayer request for my little boy. Denver has had a rash in his diaper area for a little over 3 weeks. We've been to the doctor twice for it and today I called back to our peds clinic and asked for a referral to a dermatologist because it's still not better and it's now starting to hurt him. Please pray for the doctors to know what it is, for it to heal, and to quit hurting Denver fast as it just breaks my heart to change his pants because he just cries and cries.
