Day one:. Road trip!
Scott and I left Manhattan in the Rav at 830 am on Friday. We stopped at Starbucks and meet Leah and Dave who put Emmet’s Caraway in our car for the trip! I am amazed at how this little guy did. Of course, he had the constant attention of a grandparent at all times. We read books, sang, danced, colored, snacked, and scream laughed so the way to Golden. A quick stop at Kent and Hannah’s for the reunion and meeting Molly, Joel’s girlfriend. Oh the joy of seeing my babies again. I cried.
Then a caravan up to Breckenridge in the rain, yes, with this anxious chick driving.
The condo is perfect. There is plenty of sleeping places and bathrooms. We stayed with Dave’s family in the same complex years ago (the time the kids got lost).
After a few rounds of taboo with much laughter, Emmet slept in a palate on the floor in my room. In the night he cried and was cold so I got to snuggle in bed with him for hours!!He actually slept on me for awhile then in a ball in my arms. Such pure joy.
Day Two
Everyone got up and grabbed breakfast that Hannah and Kent had brought then Scott and Joel and I went on a short hike. It was beautiful and fun. 
Back at the condo, we packed up the leftover sandwiches for a picnic lunch and loaded up to cars and drove down to Dillon lake to the day camping area. We spent the day there picnicking, playing on the beach, rafting in the air mattress and paddle boarding. Emmet stripped naked and played in the water giggling for hours. It was a very relaxing enjoyable afternoon.
On the way back to the condo we split up and some of us stopped at whole foods to do for the annual cooking contest. Each meal is prepared by a different couple and we rate the meal need in a rubric. So night one was Hannah and Kent. They made delicious pizza and salad. We then sat around the table singing mostly Beatles songs with Joel accompanying us on the ukelele. Followed by a round of Cards Against Humanity and much laughter. And an early bedtime for all.
Emmet slept most of the night in his bed but we did snuggle a bit before waking up all the way.
Day Three
Day Three started with an amazing breakfast prepared by Molly and Joel. They made grilled French toast kabobs, grilled fruit, bacon, and veggie quiche. And Nutella mocha coffee that was unbelievable!
After breakfast was a whole family hike on burro trail which was a trail along a babbling Brook. Emmet walked much of it but wanted to play one two three swing with Joel and Scott over and over.
The hike was followed by ice cream on main Street then a nap. The kids played spike ball and we napped. Then it was Leah and Dave’s night to cook. They made delicious Thai sandwiches with fancy sauce and veggies.
After dinner Hannah and Kent Scott and I say in the hot tub awhile then the family played A board game. Randomly, a fix came up to the door if the condo and profit would have come in if we’d opened the door. 
. All weekend there were many moments of sweet interactions and conversations.
Emmet had such a great time being in all the attention he got. He counted everything in the condo (he counted to 13 skipping 7 and 8), named event in the room ( never could figure out Molly’s name and for some reason he stopped eating grandma this weekend and called me “other Papa”. He also showed it knowing all his letters. He went to bed early for naps and bedtime and was pretty much an angel.
We all got our Henry time in too. Henry’s tummy bother him write a bit and we decried it was the altitude (which also briefly got Joel and me).
It was lovely to get to know Molly and to see how much she and Joel like/love each other. They’ve been dating about 9 months so it was awesome to finally meet her. She’s a sweetheart and a keeper.
We got up the last day and packed up. Scott and I made it meal which turned out great but almost killed us with the sugar content. We made parfait Buddha bowls, caramel macchiatos, and cinnamon rolls. 
So in case you are wondering, Joel and Molly won, followed by Leah and Dave, then Kent and Hannah then us. It was almost directly proportional to the amount of time rack couple put into it.
It is always so sad to say goodbye after our great family times together. I cried when we said goodbye at Kent’s. We loved every minute and having Emmet ride both ways with us. I loved snuggling Emmet every morning.
