The resort is nice. It has it's own skiing and snow tubing for the winter and golfing for the summer. There are several outdoor pools, game rooms, a gym, a spa, a lake, playgrounds, equestrian facilities, ball fields, and lots more...
Eagle Rock is about an hour and 15 minutes from home, not too long a drive. We went up to take advantage of the 'free' passes we get for the slopes. Since all of us went we 'played' with snow tubing, not skiing... maybe next year we'll let Morgan try skiing! We get 20 free passes I think per season...
We also drove past our property. When we first bought there were no roads, now there are roads around our land AND road signs! Neat to see how it has been developed! We drove around in circles (LITERALLY) to find our lot, and we think Morgan experienced her first bout of car sickness. She said her belly hurt, so we got her out and walked her around in the cold air and after a few minutes she felt fine again and didn't complain again. Hmm.
We ate lunch (above pictures) in the ski lodge at the top of the hills, and ate supper in the base lodge. Much less crowded down below for supper (picture below) than for lunch! I think eventually they will need to expand the upper lodge!
As for snow tubing... RJ was kind-of unsure the whole time, but didn't complain, just sat in his tube and went along for the ride. Morgan went down the hill one time with Daddy and started having a fit because she was cold... so we went and got lunch. After lunch she went with tubing with me and seemed to enjoy it more! I think we went down the slope 5 or 6 times.
It was a nice family day! I'm tired though!! Lots of packing up, dressing, undressing, and walking!! We got an awesome family shot... Christmas card picture next year maybe?!
