we're back! oh so much to tell about! on the way up we stopped to see my nanny (she's in a rehab center on the lake) you'll see pix of that beautiful 'center hill' lake in the background! she's doing well and will hopefully be able to leave this week...
once we started getting close to g'burg...we started seeing snow! awesome! one day we took whats called an 'air tram' halfway up the mountain...basically it's a little car pulled up on a VERY thick cable (yes, i asked to see it:) that was incredible...we could see these HUGE chalets tucked into the mountains...we saw the creator of krispy kremes cabin (only 6 inches of it is actually touching the ground- the rest sits on stilts along the side of the mountain...no, thank you) & we saw an exact replica of the barbie dreamhouse (HUGE- cost about $500/ nite to rent)..so once we were halfway up, we got off and mia wanted to ride the 'ski lift'..so i'm thinking 'no big deal'...mia & i rode on one and brock & brax on the one behind us....and i was FREAKIN OUT! this thing took us the THE VERY TOP of this mountain! it was a little old seat with NO BUCKLE just a lil bar that you could pull up and down to hold onto (uh, not ideal for small kids...) my fear was that one of them would wiggle and just slide on out...they did great though..sat very still and soaked up the scenery..which was BREATHTAKING! it was like being on an airplane in slow motion...snow everywhere! you'll see the pic i snapped of the boys...i was literally shaking as i turned to take it..mia kept telling me " it'll be okay. it'll be over soon, mommy" at the end she says "next time, i wont ask to do this one, okay?".so once at the top..i was thinking 'crap, there's only one way down & thats the same way we got up' but we pickniced at the top and we all survived the ride down...the seats never stop moving so when you get to the bottom you just have to hop off real quick (not easy with a bag and a 3 year old- in high heels...) my scarf got caught and the thing started to make it's way back up...workers scrambled to free it..and me! all in all, i'm glad i did it, but will think twice before doing it again. more to come...
