Goodbye Nehers
Today I made pancakes with nectarines for breakfast. We called Carol and made plans to go over to Greg’s place and meet up with folks and then drive over to the Alpine Slide. We stood in line and marveled at the intensity of the sun and noted that it probably doesn’t get much stronger than June 22 at noon at 6500 feet!
When we finally got to go on the ride (after going up a chairlift), it was sort of a flop because Jessie was pretty scared and went down really slowly. I went behind her and went slowly too, but much of our group (and the folks behind us) missed the opportunity to really have fun barelling around the corners.
We went back to Greg and Melissa’s place for lunch where Greg took the girls out to play some tennis which they loved. After lunch Patty and I went to Safeway to buy food to make dinner for everyone. We made Lombardo BBQ lemon chicken, Caesar salad, bread and watermelon for desert.
After dinner the girls and Callum went swimming and hot tubbing with Greg & Melissa. We all said our sad goodbyes and we headed back to the campground.
I haven’t mentioned that while Ski Town RV Park was basically ok, it was pretty awful from a noise perspective. Last night we had people around a campfire just outside our trailer yelling and laughing late into the night. At 1:45 Patty finally woke me up and made me go out and ask them to be quiet.
We were sad to say goodbye to the Nehers; as always we had a great time visiting with them.
P.S. - The last few updates have been delayed because we've finally been camping off the grid...
