The condo we stayed in this year was not as nice as the one from last year, but it was much closer to Mt. Bachelor. Since Zack could only stay for part of the time we spent the first two days there skiing/snowboarding. We usually like to have a recovery day in between snow days. We had a blast the first day. Ryan took a little while warming up to skiing again but he picked it up quickly. Shelby is our little skiing maniac and was tearing it up right away. Zack really enjoyed the slopes - he has never snowboarded anywhere besides Mt Shasta. Bachelor is so much bigger and nicer. The second day we were sore and tired but it was still fun. Ryan and I had to stop early though because there were really strong wind gusts on the lift that just terrified Ryan. I took him back to the condo to watch "Horton Hears a Who" while Bill, Zack and Shelby finished out the day.
Zack had to leave the next morning and we used the day to chill out and recover. We took the kids out ot lunch and to see "The Pink Panther" at the movies and pretty much just relaxed.
The next day we had an adventure at the High Desert Museum outside Bend. It was a really cool place with displays on local Indian history and history of the local culture in the 1880s. There were around 100 live animals and some displays of stuffed bears and wolves. We enjoyed oursevles and it was educatinal to boot.
We had planned a ski day for the following morning but the winds were gusting to 45mph. So....we opened the phone book to find something to do to have fun and entertain kidlets. What could be better than bowling and the arcade?
Wednesday we headed home to do laundry and relax because you know you always need to recover after vacation!
