Our weekend...

We spent a couple of nights at Snowshoe Resort with my brother and his family this weekend. I wasn't sure what activities would be available since it's a ski resort, but I was pleasantly surprised. They have a shopping village right in the middle of some of the condo areas, and they run the ski lift down to the lake where there are lots of activities like paddle boats, canoes, a swimming area with beach and chairs with umbrellas, playgrounds, hammocks hanging in the trees, climbing walls, bungee jump things, volleyball, shuffleboard, etc. It was really nice. And, of course, swimming pools with slides which we had to visit even though it was around 70 degrees up on the mountain. In fact the difference in temperature from our condo on top of the mountain to the lake at the bottom of the lift was about 7 degrees.
We're now catching up on sleep because Mallory continued to keep us awake with her yelling, fussing fits at the condo, too. She did sleep all the way through the night last night...woohoo!!
(I didn't think I'd ever say that again after she turned 18 months old. ugh.)


the Pirate Ship was a big hit

This is a picture of the girls wearing their "My Aunt Rides and So Will I" National Motorcycle Museum t-shirts that my sister, Shannon, bought for them. I will email some more to you, Shan. :)

That looks like SO MUCH FUN!!! What a beautiful place. I am totally jealous of the 70 degree weather. Your girls are so beautiful Mandy. Isn't it so hard when your child goes through a really tough stage? It seems like they will never get through it, but looking back in retrospect the time seems to fly by way too quickly, even the difficult stages that seem never ending.
