Second Dia

The second day we
started off at fun peak day.
Also known as let's try
and spend a whole weeks worth of
saved vacay money in one day.
Good memories made though. 

One hour into our day it started to rain. Brett being quick to see if he can get his $300 back ran to the ticket booth and asked the policy on a "rain out", even though we all know it rains in the mountains everyday for all of 10 minutes and then passes. But anything to take the pit out of his stomach for spending so much when the kids only wanted to touch the packed in snow pile and dig for "gems"
both = free
We did get them to go down the  alpine slide once or twice. Walking back to the gondola with $220 back in Brett's wallet made for a good morning activity.

In order to appease their sadness for the fun park cut short we spent the money we thought we would have saved on the arcades at Eric's downstairs. Who wouldn't want to spend $16 on one rubber purple smiley face?

By now into the trip
 I had already gained
4 pounds in pale ale.
Mountains and beer seem
to go hand in hand.
I know some people may say
mountains and outdoor activities.
But reading and drinking a nice
Vanilla Porter are right up my alley.
Especially while my kids
(and husband) play arcade games. 

That night, after Eric's Downstairs, Brett and I called the "resort sitters.com". That's right... I have succumb to one of those desperate mothers that would trust a stranger in a strange place with her 4 kids. Luckily she didn't loose them, hurt them, or let them play with matches.

Brett and I had such a fun date night!
