ThePioneer Womanhas officially left the farm!
Ree Drummondand her husband Ladd may havesuffered a setbackon their way to Vail, Colorado, earlier this year, but the pair has successfully made it out of Oklahoma for their couple’s vacation.
The Food Network star and the rancher are currently enjoying a trip to the Centennial State together after they were forced to cancel their original March plans due to hisemergency neck surgery.
Ladd, 52, broke his neck on March 14 after a truck collision involving their nephew Caleb. Both men were responding to a fire burning near the family farm.
Ree, 52, celebrated their well-earned vacation in ablog poston Sunday.
“Ladd and I are on vacation in Colorado together! Can you tell I’m excited? 😂 I am. And let me explain a little bit more about my enthusiasm,” she wrote.
As it turns out, Ladd had actually missed three previous trips to Colorado before finally making it out west for this weekend’s vacation, while Ree just recently visited the state herself in June.
“Missing our vacation was certainly at the bottom of our list of concerns at the time since Ladd was in the hospital recovering from his emergency neck surgery…but as he started healing and getting better, we had to chuckle that the accident had happened right before our trip, because something had seemed to interrupt our being able to take three previously planned Colorado trips together,” she explained. “We might have just given up on trying, but I’m stubborn and so is he, so we decided to make plans one last time and see if we were able to make it happen.”
For now, thePioneer Womanhas a message for her kidswhile their parents enjoy some time on a “marital vacation"away from the non-stop work of life on the farm.
“I know we’re only a few hours in, but we really are having a whale of a time so far. We kinda miss having all the kids here, but we’re also enjoying our first non-work related trip alone together since… Since… Since I can’t remember! So Drummond kids, take care of one another, don’t forget your mom and dad,” Ree joked.
The couple shares four kids and a foster son together: Alex, 24, Paige, 21, Bryce, 18, Jamar, 18, and Todd, 17.
