Eagle Point

The condo we had for the weekend wasn't too bad...although there were a few glitches that needed to be resolved, like getting the stove and the heater to work.  There was a big thunderstorm complete with pouring ran our first evening, so it got pretty chilly when you're at 10,000 ft. (hence the need of a heater!).  But it turned out to be a circuit breaker and everything worked just fine.  Although, we were a bit bummed that not only was there no WiFi, but we didn't have cable either (no tour footage for Ryan)...oh, and our cell phones didn't have service.  It's sad how we rely on such things, but it's true...we do.  Had I known we wouldn't have access to any of these things, I would have brought some reading material!  

Like I said it was pouring rain our first evening, so our condo was feeling very cozy!  Did I tell you that this was the weekend we were thinking about camping?  HA!

Can you spot little Rory way at the end of the table?

Saturday morning.  I love that Morgan is in the middle of a bite in this picture.

The view from our balcony...you can see the ski runs.




There was a boy staying in one of the condos near ours and the girls and him became quick friends!

 On Sunday before we headed home we decided to explore the area a little more and check out Puffer Lake nearby.  We packed a picnic and were prepared to stay the afternoon there.  But unfortunately, it started to pour rain.

That's Ryan walking the girls back to the car in the pouring rain.
So our plan B was to drive toward home and stop for our picnic at Cove Fort.  Now, I can't even count how many times we stopped at the Cove Fort exit on all of our many drives to CA, but we have NEVER been to the actual Cove Fort before!  So we finally remedied that!  The fort was used as a safe haven for pioneers that traveled through the area.  We ate our picnic and took the complete tour with the missionaries that live there.  It was a really neat place and I can't believe we took so long to see it!

What a fun weekend!!
Until next year??
