Hello. I am a Daddy's girl. I still hold his hand and cuddle up to him on the couch. Tom probably felt a little neglected during his visit, but I know he was happy Dad was here too! They got some male bonding in, which was nice.
Dad got into town around noon on Friday and we went straight to our ultrasound appointment. Afterwards we came back to the house and hung out for a bit before we went into town for dinner at the best pizza place in town - The Secret Stash. Dad brought me some goodies from back home... we have quite the SC rivalry going on in our household back home between Clemson and Carolina (USC). Dad and my brother Nick are the only Gamecocks.... so of course Dad thought it was pretty great when he arrived with our baby's first USC t-shirt!
Mom didn't realize it, being a huge Clemson fan and all... but she did send me three new pieces of maternity clothing... all USC colors... so Dad also got a kick out of that. :)
On Saturday we woke up, had breakfast and then headed for the outdoors for a hike! My Dad's entire career has been based in the outdoor sporting goods business, working for large companies such as Bass Pro Shops, Shakespeare / Pure Fishing in a variety of capacities. Dad certainly brought his girls up to love the outdoors... And let's just say he is excited to get back to Crested Butte when a little more of the snow has melted so he can do a little fishing and climb to some higher elevations.
After our hike we played Rummicube! A family favorite. Playing by grandma's rules :) Just killing some time before we headed into town to give Dad a tour. After we showed him the ski area, we headed back down to town where one of the big winter events was taking place... Big Air On Elk. The weekend is spent covering the streets with snow and making a big jump for skiers being pulled behind snowmobiles to jump over and do tricks. Then we went and ate dinner at The Last Steep. A lovely time was had by all :)
Dad's flight left Sunday afternoon out of Denver.... so he woke up early and drove back to the city. It was a quick trip... a side trip from his business trip... but I can't tell you how happy I was to see my Daddy. And only 2 more months and I'll be seeing him again, with a little baby in my arms. :)

Dad has a thing with road signs on his blog... so naturally...
Tom and I at our spot... where Dad gathered a few new stones for his rock collection.
The very first ski lift in Colorado.
