We just spent the day at Mountain Hood (as Anna calls it, and it's just so darn cute we might all start saying it that way). Our first ever visit to SkiBowl and it was a blast! There was so much to do and it was a huge bonus that ALL of the kids were able to do everything (even little Anna on the bungee trampoline). Very nice that no one was excluded for being too short. Plus, you can't beat the scenery.

As for the activities . . . .
There was, of course, the alpine slide. We did it 3 times, and because we came mid-week there were no lines. We'd make it down the hill and jump right back on the chair lift to take us to the top.
{Payton and I at the end of the track. And Conner zooming past me on the other track. He was pretty proud of this move.}

watching Anna come down was a crack-up!
miniature golf
Conner even got a hole in one!
bungee trampoline
This was at the top of everyone's favorite list. At one time Anna, Payton, Conner, and I were all going at the same time. Pretty darn fun! Below I have a video of Payton doing his backflips. I, of course, was too chicken to attempt that maneuver. Jumping 15 feet in the air was thrill enough for me!
and last but not least . . . . the zipline
Conner and Scott strapped up, climbed the tower, and zipped their way down the 500 foot cable. There is also video of this below. As you'll see, Conner did great! When he got down he was pumped and ready to do it again. But we were only paying for one trip down the zipline, so maybe another time bud.

A trip to Dairy Queen for blizzards and a lot of "that was so much fun!" comments from the back of the van, and I'd say it was a pretty successful day.
