Durango, CO

On our way back from Silverton, we stopped in Durango at the Durango Mountain Ski Resort.

 

I heard the Alpine Slide was a must.

Levi was young enough to ride with Kris, and Jacob got to ride by himself (which I was a tad nervous about). 

You had to ride a chair lift to the top.  Jacob's first time, he loved it.

 

You basically ride a sled down the slope.

You can ride side by side, and that is what Jacob and I did.

You can control your speed thank goodness, and I actually had to tell Jacob to slow down so I could catch up. :) 



So stinkin' FUN!!!!

I should backup.  They had to stop the chair lift 3 times because Levi DID NOT want to ride!

Jacob and I were ahead of them and I could hear his wailing loud and clear!

I knew he would like the slide, we just needed to get him to the top. :)  

Luckily he calmed down and sat still for the ride.

I should point out that it was Kris' first time riding too, and he's not the biggest fan of heights. 

HA! :)

 

It was sooo fun!!  Highly recommend!!

 

We also stopped at a train museum. 

The boys could've stayed there all day!

The models they had set up were pretty cool. 

They watched the trains run all throughout the little town.

I just realized it looks like Levi is touching it, but he was just pointing (his 2 fingers crack me up!).

Meme and Papaw were generous enough to give the kiddos some spending money for the trip.

Both boys decided on a train set, go figure!

(same train, different colors)

Thank you Meme and Papaw!!!!
