Day 2...

We decided to go for a drive today. We drove down the mountain to the Inn of the Mountain Gods. A beautiful hotel/casino where Madison drew to an eight nine straight and won $500. Just kidding. She drew to a nut flush.

We got out and went to the lake where we threw rocks in the water and I showed the kids the fine art of skipping rocks. (BF moment)

The sun was very bright and hot. It was only 82 degrees but it felt like 100. Being closer to the sun couldn't have that much effect could it? After the rock throwing, we went to another lake which paled in comparison so no pics of it. We wanted to eat lunch but Ian was getting a bit restless so back up to the cabin we went. Good thing too because by the time we got there I felt awful. Don't know if it was the altitude or what but I felt bad. Ian and Reagan went down for a nap as did I. Madison and Kelly went back downtown to shop. And shop they did. Madison is all girl and she had a ball as did Kelly. They brought back lots of goodies for all of us.

We ate dinner, fed the ever-present deer and went and got some ice cream. Cool place. Old jukebox. Guitars and old 45's on the wall. The same artwork as on the 45's we had: The Rockford Files, Undercover Angel and Jive Talking just to name a few. We played a few tunes, danced and then went home. We spent the night playing games and watching TV. Much to our chagrin the clouds came in and blew our chance for viewing the stars. Two nights, two strikes.
