Lots of pictures from today...

Slept in... then, first thing Jazzy wanted to do was go out to the dock. Then, drove around the lake to the north side and went on a hike on the Alpine Trail. Then to the "Alpine Slide" which apparently is covered by ice in the winter and is used as a "bobsled" slide. In the summer they have bobsleds with wheels. You have to ride a ski lift up to the top (unless you want to go on a very long walk). I had never..uh.. ridden a ski lift before. No problem getting just me on it, but getting Jasmine on first, then me- while the thing is moving was a trick. I had sandals on too.. so had to scrunch my toes so they wouldn't fall off. Jazzy and I went down on the bobsled together.. SO much fun. Here is the ski lift- with another water slide off to the right. Then, in the lobby...they have a "do it yourself" cotton candy maker. Of COURSE, we HAD to do that. Then we were told to just "show up" at 2pm for a pirate ship ride on the lake. We showed up and they told us we had to have reservations... totally annoyed about that.. but we'll probably do it tomorrow. Then off to "The Village" to have lunch and sheck out the shops. Big attraction... candy store. Jssmine is now out socializing with the neighbors. I can hear her chattering non-stop. Poor people:) Something funny: Jasmine has been watching "Peppa Pig" videos on the way here and then in the car when we are driving around. It's a British cartoon about a family of pigs. Now she is speaking with a British accent!!! It sounds very authentic, and she has been speaking like that for 2 days!!!
