Christmas in Iowa 12.20.2010

Jay, Renelle and I spent Christmas 2010 in Iowa with his parents. It was the first time Renelle and I flew together. We had a interesting experience, over all the fly aspect was good. The problem we experienced was the lack of reasonable accessibility to toliet an assistance dog. In Denver (I discovered in the last couple days) is a joke, It requires a 3o minute bus drive to a completely different terminal, and would need to go through security all over again. No one (outside of a nice United Airlines pilot named Bryan who is familiar with CCI and wants to be a PR) was helpful and so Renelle did not go toliet for around 17 hours (she refused to go pee on the cement or anything other than grass, wood chips or snow).

Below is the first day we were there. Renelle was raised in Ohio, so snow is not new to her, she LOVED it!


Renelle returns to the snow, only in Iowa rather than Ohio. She had a blast!


I had told God that if we were spending Christmas in Iowa, the least he could do was provide for a White Christmas....Thank you!


It was absolutely beautiful!


It was snowing, although in this picture it looks like a blizzard with the snow blowing at an angle.


Snow flakes on a black dog, makes for a magical looking dog.


This is one of their neighbors house, reminds of the pictures of a German winter.


Got Jay out of bed to join us. Renelle loves playing chase (good exercise to run in the snow!) and with Jay.

Jay got a little red from the cold dry air.






Peace!
