Yes, Snowshoe in the summer!

Our mini-vacation destination was actually Snowshoe for a few days. We had originally planned to go to Baltimore, but with a few changes in friends schedules and the predicted heat wave, we thought Snowshoe might be a better place to land this past week. We were right. Weather was perfect, distance just about right, and 2 night length of stay about what the boys could handle.

We stayed right in the village. Here was the view from our balcony:


Normally it's freezing and we're on the slopes, but a summer trip to Snowshoe allowed us to enjoy Split Rock Pools for a change. The boys loved the waterslide!


And the indoor area, though kind of hot, allowed Grayson to really play by himself with little fear of getting into any trouble.

We tried to snap a few family pictures: Steve with the boys.


Mom with her boys:

The beach area at the lake was fun, but the boys were most thrilled with getting fruit snacks as a treat!

Our own little beached whale.

Both boys were old enough to enjoy the lift ride down the mountain this year!

Grayson begged to do the Eurobungy and we finally gave in.

The boys favored mode of transportation was the Skuut.

We even let them ride them into the buildings and rooms.

Our little daredevil taking his Skuut down the skate ramp. I'll try to post video later.

Luke trying his best to keep up with Grayson. All will, no skills.
