Patterson Family Vacation

 

Since getting engaged in February of 2008 our lives have been hurricane of activity. We got married, remodeled 2 houses, Luke got his MBA, Luke began working at a new company and we had baby Luke. There hasn't been much time for vacation. But finally after 2 and a half long years we took a much needed break! Park City, Utah, here we come!

When Luke's college friend Gary called and said he found a great deal on a condo in Park City we couldn't say yes fast enough. Gary and his wife Christine have a little boy, Graydon, who is 8 months old. This just seemed like the perfect situation for us.

 

"Where's the snow Mama?"

 My my, how times have changed. These college buddies are now having dinner in a trendy restaurant at 5:30 PM while feeding babies.

Christine, Graydon, Luke II and I.

 Luke II and Graydon becoming buddies.

 Luke II got lots of daddy time this week.

 Luke II hated getting bundled up. This was the pouty face he made every time.

 Snow angel???

 He hates it but mama makes him take a picture in the snow anyways. It's for her "oh so important"       profile pic.

As it turns out, Luke II is a snow narcoleptic. Every time he went out in the snow it was so traumatic for him  he would instantly fall asleep.

Fun with the camera.

 We had lots of play time.

 Where did he learn this???

 Sweet baby Graydon!

 Luke II and Graydon on the last morning. So sweeeeet!

 Luke II was introduced to Big Bird and they really hit it off. Graydon left Big Bird as a gift to Luke II.

This is Luke II and Big Bird waiting to board the plane. Luke II's secret is that he is going to have  a massive dirty diaper right as they call us to board.

 Again, my how times have changed! Luke holding Big Bird.

We had a great trip. I had my Lukes all to myself for 8 days! I am some what of a home body so it's rare that I enjoy a trip so much that I am not ready to come home.
