That night Stella did not sleep very well if at all. We chalked it up to a new place, overtiredness from traveling, etc. Turned out, she had been brewing a sickness and for whatever reason (i.e. plane filled with bacteria, traveling exhaustion, etc.), it decided to rear its ugly head for the next few days. This was the second time Stella had a high fever...this time it was between 103-104. Thankfully, we had decided to take Stella to her Pediatrician the day we left so we had a whole Rx cabinet stocked for her. We started her on antibiotics pretty quickly not wanting to risk a bacterial infection especially with Maya toddling about. So, needless to say, the meeting of the one-month-apart toddlers turned out to be a very subdued version than expected as Stella was not feeling her best.
At Amy's urging, we did end up leaving Stella for a couple of hours to try the slopes. It was a pretty cold day in Breck but us East Coasters didn't have a point of reference to how warm it could be out West, so it was business as usual. The slopes did not disappoint. We had a blast, the views were indescribable and happy to report that neither of us fell. Whoo hooo! The only struggle was with altitude. Scott and I got winded pretty easily from being 2 miles above sea level.
We had a GREAT time. Amy, Brian & Maya couldn't have been better hosts. Some highlights:
- cooked us this delicious portabella mushroom penne coupled with some very good wine
- watched sick Stella for a few days while Scott and I hit the slopes
- introduced us to scrumptious homemade cookies from their fav joint in Breck
- was the most impressive was that Brian took up (or was cornered into) perhaps the greatest task of cutting/shaving Scott's head.
