NorthStar at Tahoe

On Tuesday the stomach flu decided to interrupt our family vacation leaving Mackenzie, Emersyn and myself down for the count. Poor Daddy got left holding the towels..literally and one sick baby. So we decided today was a good day to head over to north star and do some non-skiing activities. We started at All Fired Up for some paint your own pottery. Finn chose an airplane and Mackenzie chose a snake.



After we finished pottery we stopped for lunch and then headed to the ice skating rink. This was a lot more work than I remembered. Finn could not stay upright and needed me to hold his whole body. He thought it was fun to shuffle his feet back and forth on the ice, so there was a lot of falling. Mackenzie needed a hand or railing for balance but was able to make it slowly around the rink. Emme really wanted on the ice, so we had to bring her out and show her what it was all about. 








 We ended our day with a ride up the gondola to the top of the mountain to see the views from the Ritz Carlton. The kids liked the gondola but weren't as impressed with the fancy hotel as Jim and I. They just wanted to know why we couldn't stay for a swim.
