After seeing the Saunders get off for their trip to VT for the funeral services the Kings decided to head back to Attitash Mountain for some more Alpine Slides. The kids had a great time. They even made a new friend that spent the entire day with them. His name was Dan he was from Virginia. Zack did have a little mishap - he fell off - he got a few scratches - but I am so proud of him - he got back on and rode the rest of the day!

After 6 hours of sliding we headed back to the campground. After dinner we just spent a leisurely night hanging out.

Boy being on vacation can be tiring!

Today we headed west to Cannon Mountain. We took the tramway to the top of Cannon Mtn. The tramway will hold 80 people but if it did you would know what Sardines felt like in that little tin can. At the top of the mountain we had a picnic lunch with this incredible view. We were at times literally in the clouds.
After lunch we hiked up to the summit to the observation deck for some more photos. We took the tramway back down the mountain. In the lobby we say the plans for the new monument they are putting up in memory of 'The Old Man in the Mountain'. Today's trivia question - When did the Old Man in the Mountain "retire"?

Next we drove down to Lost River. The kids did some mining and found some cool things. However - we were unable to find the Lost River because my kids did not have on appropriate foot wear! So it is still lost!

We headed back to the campground. After supper Kathy took the kids swimming to the pool while the Saunders did the laundry and packed for their trip back to VT tomorrow.
