Breckenridge

Okay, so I haven’t even been doing this for a month and I am already behind! Two weeks ago Clint had a conference in Breckenridge so the rest of us tagged along with him. We haven’t really had much of a chance to explore that part of Colorado yet. We had a lot of fun! The resort where we were staying was NOT designed for strollers. To get from the front door to our room, we had to take 3 different elevators. Regan refused to jump as the elevator stopped, but did a good job getting us to right floor every time. Regan got to paint her very own hot chocolate cup at “Ready, Paint, Fire.” She is a wonderful painter and her cup is beautiful. She and Haden both had a good time in the play section of Peek A Boo Toys. We were even able to make it out of the store without a single purchase! Although the hotel shuttle offered to take us anywhere we needed to go, Regan was a little apprehensive of the bus and insisted that we walk. She did very well, but eventually wound up sitting in the stroller with Haden. Haden loved it-all that curly hair just within his reach. Thank goodness Regan’s sweater had a hood to protect her curls from him! We got a lot of looks—I only saw one other stroller the entire time we were in Breckenridge and it was for a dog. We made it back to the hotel just before the skies opened up for the regular afternoon thunderstorm.

The next day we spent at the Children’s Museum where Regan befriended some kids from Florida. She loved playing with her new “friends” and was reluctant to leave. We stopped for lunch at the hotel’s restaurant. Apparently, one of Regan’s Strawberry Shortcake movies teaches appropriate manners for tea parties. She had the best time drinking water out of her fancy goblet and then blotting her lips afterwards. Her napkin was on her lap most of the time, except when she was rolling on the bench laughing at her own antics. We caused quite a spectacle, but it was a lot of fun…

Clint and I had planned on going on a hike when his conference was over, but the kids were fast asleep within five minutes of getting in the car. Since Haden had yelled most of the way to Breckenridge, we opted to let him sleep, skip our hike and enjoy the peace and quiet most of the way home.
