Hunter and I joined Ryan for a long weekend in Breckenridge, Colorado while he attended a work-related conference. Mom-mom was sweet enough to come along with us and look after Hunter so Ryan and I could ride together. While we were on the slopes, Hunter enjoyed playing, reading, and snoozing with Mom-mom in front of the fireplace. He also got to watch the football playoffs with Daddy, while the gals enjoyed a spa day! Our friends, Shane and Rachel, who live in Fort Collins, stopped by to visit with us and Hunter squealed with excitement when he met his new friend Ben who is only 6 months older than he! When Ryan was in meetings, Hunter explored the town of Breckenridge with Mom-mom and I on foot (or rather strapped to his Mommy's chest, while she was on foot). It is a cute little ski town and Hunter couldn't seem to get enough; he kept turning his head from side to side as if trying to see it all at once. Eventually this tuckered him out and he fell asleep, but woke up later when he thought his Mommy had shopped in enough stores and it was time to head back to the room and eat.
We returned to MD without Ryan, as he had to stay several more days for his conference. This was the longest stretch of time that Hunter and his Dad have been apart and they missed each other a ton! One evening, I even caught Hunter making his Dad a sign to express his feelings, which we emailed to Ryan that night.
Our trip, while short, seems to have brought our "sons" closer...meaning Jack and Hunter. Prior to our visit west, it was a known fact around our house that Jack forbade Hunter to touch him, much to Hunter's chagrin. However, since our return, I have gotten photographic evidence that Jack missed Hunter immensely! Of course, Jack also thinks that he can sleep on my bed now too...perhaps he is trying to take Ryan's place??
Below are some videos of Ryan and I riding...ignore the part where I slide out like a loser!
