Six Days in Steamboat: Days 1-2

Whew. So...we've been gone for the past week. I've got the laundry to prove it, lol. Home again and catching up now...so here's a run down of how things went:

Nathan picked up his parents at the airport late Saturday. We finished our packing Sunday morning, grabbed some lunch and headed out for Steamboat Springs...arriving just before dinner. We unloaded at our unit and found a local Mexican food place for dinner then did some grocery shopping and game playing...just settling in. :) End of Day 1 in Steamboat.

Monday, we enjoyed the morning and headed up the gondola, watching the mountain bikers coming back down the mountain below us. At the top, we took a short nature hike:

Then we grabbed some drinks and headed back down (with the younger two trying to get all the other gondola passengers to wave to us, lol):

At the bottom, we discovered a lovely little water feature that just begged us to wade in:

After that, we ate a delicious lunch and watched the start of the Germany-Algeria World Cup soccer game. We ended up heading back to the unit to watch the end of the game before going back out to find the Alpine Slide. Here's Nathan and Asher on the way to the top:

...and here's Micah and me:

...and this is Micah and Nathan at the start of the slide:

It was pretty fun and not as fast as Micah worried it might be. :) 

We made dinner at the unit that night and played more games together...

End of Day 2.
