“Ladd and I are weirdly competitive. Not with anything that matters, but definitely with dumb things like racing each other up a random flight of stairs while on vacation,” she wrote alongside theclip. “Usually I have no hope of beating him unless I decide to start the race without informing him that there is a race. Today he was nice enough to open the door for me and I used it as my chance to get a head start.”
In another post, Ree shared asweet picof the happy couple posing in the wilderness, writing in its caption, “My hair is on fire…just like our love. (Sorry 😂).”

Earlier this year, Ree and Ladd were originally to take a trip to Colorado but were forced to cancel those plans due to Ladd’semergency neck surgery.
At the time, Ladd broke his neck after a truck collision involving their nephew Caleb. Both men were responding to a fire burning near the family farm.
Ree celebrated their well-earned vacation in ablog poston Sunday, writing, “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.”
As it turns out, Ladd had actually missed three previous trips to Colorado before finally making it out west for this 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.”
