playing in the snow

the sun was shining as we pulled up. as I opened the car door she ran out. excited can't even describe her reaction. it had been nearly a year since she'd been here to play.

this time her cousins were here to play annoy her. but she's a good sport she doesn't mind a little cousin time as long as she gets to play in the snow.

she seemed a little sad when she was left to puppysit while the people enjoyed our own snow play. but she understands that sliding down a snow covered hill can be fun. even if she doesn't understand the need for boards.

it had been years since we had all skied together. it was a fantastic day. beautiful blue skies. spring skiing. family. and laughter. capped off by dinner with the nieces. but sadly, just the human ones.

although the puppies got back at us for leaving them for too long. they decided my ski sock torn to shreds would show us. but even a little sock casualty couldn't make a dent in the fantastic day of skiing with brothers and sisters, both real and in-law.

now, they've all gone home. and it's just TheDog and I for tomorrow. a nice break from reality. hopefullly, she'll enjoy the rest from the puppies while I make a few turns.
