Visiting Auntie Hodder in Vail

Yesterday, Finley and I made the trip to Colorado to visit Auntie Hodder (aka my best friend Heather.)  We flew into Denver because plane tickets were $78 roundtrip (score!) and made the drive up to Vail last night.  the first part of the drive was awesome, the middle part was very slow, then I realized why.  ICE.  And lots of it.  It didn't last for too terribly long, but it did make for some nervous driving the rest of the trip.  We made it to Heather's house in time for a snack and then it was off to bed for Finley.  This morning we took a walk around her neighborhood to see snow, but there wasn't much to be seen.  We met one of Heather's friends out for Tumble Tots for the girls to play, then it was off to lunch with Heather's dad and his wife Mary.  Finley had mac n' cheese, so she was thrilled.  Then it began snowing...a lot of snow.  It is nearly pure white out there as I speak.  The plan is to go to Beaver Creek tomorrow morning to have Finley try to ski.  If that goes reasonably well, we will do some snow tubing.
