The first place we headed was to the lift that would take us up to the Alpine Slide. After plunking down a full week's salary for everyone's tickets, Katie and Lindsay both started tugging on our hands, saying they didn't want to get on the lift, didn't want to go on the slide, didn't want to go on the tram, didn't want to jump on the trampoline, and didn't want to climb the wall. After I informed them we would certainly miss their company throughout the day, and to be sure to meet us back at the car after it got dark, they reluctantly changed their minds.
Halle was just barely old enough to be allowed to go down the slide, yet young enough to have no clue what she was in for. She was hooked and begged for more.
Lindsay caught on quickly, and went down full throttle. She asked me what those signs were for that said "slow" at the curves. I mentioned that some people had been known to fly over the edge if they went too fast. That didn't seem to deter her in the least.
Katie also got the "feel of the road" with no problem. She was too young to go it alone, but she would like to have tried.
During take-off orientation, we were warned there was "no racing allowed." If you could see the determined looks on Emily and Jared's faces you might suspect they weren't listening.
Katie even decided to try the climbing wall, mostly because I wanted to get her picture. That's as far as she made it, but quite honestly I didn't do much better!
My favorite part of the day was going up the new lift that goes ALL THE WAY up the mountain alongside the tram. It was a long, high and very refreshing ride. 
Can you see Emily and Jared waving from the seat behind us?
The top of the mountain seemed much higher than it looks in these pictures.
There's a cave at the top of the lift you can walk through to the other side of the mountain. It was a little cold up there.

I am so sad I missed it! It was so much fun last time. You didn't even invite me!
You are always invited. Jump on that plane and come on down!
