Steamboat

Emery experienced her first trip to Steamboat last week. Ben's parents recently bought into a new condo development called One Steamboat Place and we stayed there for the first time this trip. All I can say is "wow!!!" This place is incredible. Everything is brand new and top of the line....and the staff spoiled us rotten. What a great trip....our nephew, Austin, skiied for the first time (he's not even 2 and a half!) and Ben and I had built-in babysitters for Emery so that we could ski, go out to dinner, shower.....heaven!
Grandpa and Grandma took Emery and Austin on their first gondola ride. There they go.....
Eskimo Bobbles. Emery was such a good baby the entire trip. She didn't care what we did with her as long as she was part of the action.

The Slagel me in one of the hot tubs. Ahh......I wish we had one of these in our own backyard.

Emery and Mommy in the heated outdoor pool. Emery is such a water baby. She loves pools, her bathtub, the dog's water dishes.....anything with H2O is fun for her.

Our one snag in the trip was that our flight from Atlanta to Steamboat had some issues with weather. We flew directly from Atlanta to Steamboat and then had to circle due to fog. After about 40 minutes, the captain announced that we were running low on fuel and would have to go to Denver, refuel, and try again. Once we got to Denver, the fog in Steamboat worsened, which meant we had to hang out ON THE PLANE for an additional hour and a half at DIA. We never deplaned. Thankfully, we were upgraded to first class, which meant we had roomy seats, lunch and booze. ;-) Also, Emery was a perfect angel and thought first class was super fun (as do Ben and I). We finally made it to Steamboat and everything was smooth sailing from them on.
