Tally's Sick Day

Tally gets ready for some serious skiing.

After ralphing her brains out the night before, and a trip to the emergency room- Tallulah slept like a log all night long (or what was left of it). After a night like that, we didn't think daycare would be a option the following day. Mom elected me to stay home with Tallulah for the day. Here's what she gets...

Headed up the trail with Tallulah in tow.

After a great morning of holding down fluids and food, Tally seemed back to normal. No temp, all smiles and giggles. Hmmmm. Wonder if she was faking it. Ha! Well, I figured we might as well make the best of it. We loaded up our skis and headed up Sinks canyon where there was still some great snow left.

About half way up the switchbacks we looked down at this. We couldn't resist.

Tallulah and Shad score turns!

Taking aim for the second run.

Our line, after the second run.


What did Tally think of being towed for turns?...

"Yeeehaaw!" Or more like, "Kee! Keee! keee!" Giggle. Giggle.

She couldn't get enough.

Tallulah rests and takes a milk break below our lines. Hard work riding that sled when it's flying down a slope!

Looking down on our X-country Rossignol/ Chariot figure eights.

During our break Tallulah decided to try out some of that powder for herself...

"Hhhmm, looks good."

"I think I'll touch it."

"Hhaaaaaah! I like it!"

A look back on our lines as we head down the mountain.

Back at the car, dad frees Tally from her ski bindings again.


"How was your ski today Tallulah?"...

"Haaaaaaahhhhsome! Kee kee kee!"

Not bad for a sick day. It's back to work tomorrow I guess. Nothing a good ski can't cure!
