Vacation, SEVEN SPRINGS SKI RESORT

We spent almost a whole day at Seven Springs Ski Resort....You may say why would you go to a ski resort in the summer....well they have lots to do there in the summer too, as you can see from the pictures. 
Adrien, Megan, Nic and Alex with the ski slopes behind them.  Adrien has his hands up cause he was telling me to stop and let him and Alex switch places.
There thats better ........lol
Checking out the view of the Apline Slide and the ski lift.  Can you belive they also climbed half way up that mountain to were it looks like there is a ledge.

The game room.  They could not stop playing Deal or No Deal and Adrien and Megan won alot of tickets playing it.  My grandfather use to repair the games in this room when I was young and he took me to work with him and he would open up a game and give me all the quarters out of the game so I could spend the day playing games.  The kids thought that was great.

Malia wanting to try a little golf.  Her uncle Rick must have gotten to her.

My family joined us there and this is my cousin Nathan, shooting the gun.
Adrien, Alex, Nic, Megan, Hunter and Nathan.  What looks like a path behind them is actually an Apline Slide.  More pictures of it below.  They loved it.  We rode it 3 times and it took about 1 hour each time.  They had to ride the ski lift to the top of the mountain and ride a sled down a concrete path.
Here is Megan, Alex, Adrien and Nic getting on the 4 person chair lift.  Cousin Deana, Nathan and Hunter behind them.
The Apline Slide, it goes up behind the trees a long distance.  It is a 12 minute ride to the top.
The ski lodge where I had my first job.  The hill in front of it is the bunny slope.
This lift takes you up to the bike trail in the summer.  We watched alot of bikers come down off the mountains. 
This the the ski lift for the Apline Slide
The hotel at the ski resort.
Mountains.... in the far top corner before the trees are condos right at the top of the mountain.  They are all over the top.  I asked the kids if they would like to live up there and they all said no.
Megan and Adrien at the bottom of the Alpine Slide.
Alex and Hunter racing down the mountain.


Nic coming in very slow.  You can control your speed by a stick in the middle of the sled.

After riding the Alpine Slide they all ran up the mountain to about half way.  Then they ran back down some and rolled down some of the way.
