As part of our Christmas gift to Katie, we decided to take a family ski trip to Telluride, Colorado. Katie decided it would be a good idea to bring Sally along with us. I think that for a dog, that's when you know you've made it and that you are a part of the family. In addition, Uncle Mark, Aunt Meridith and cousin Riley (Scott's brother, wife and kid) plus Meridith's mom and dad would be joining us from Texas.
So we packed up the trusty Land Cruiser and hit the road...with Sally in tow. Both Katie and Sally were wonderful passengers, although Sally did whine for nearly all of the 9 hours we were in the car. Sometimes it sounded like she was singing along to the music, and other times it sounded like she just wanted to get out of the car at all costs.
We arrived at our house and got settled. The next morning when Katie woke up and headed downstairs to find breakfast, she was surprised to see Aunt Adrienne sleeping on the pullout couch in the loft area. What a great surprise!!!! Her face lit up and she promptly glued herself to Adrienne's hip for the rest of the week!
Katie went to ski school for 2 days and then skied with Scott and I for the 2 additional days. She did a fantastic job on the slopes and even toughed it out through a cold and wet powder day. Her skills have improved and her confidence is amazing. I have no doubt that in another year, she'll easily be able to ski better than me.
Here are a few photos of our trip...and one video of Sally singing in the car....
