Beaver Creek Day 2

Day 2 of our vacation had us all up a little early.  There is a time change and many of us are getting older.  The days of sleeping late are over.  So we all got up and headed to breakfast at Bob's Place for breakfast.  Then Rod, Rick, Mark, and Tina went to explore the town while Annette, Tori, and I went to Walmart to grocery shop.  Lots of food later, we all met back up at the hotel.

This day was basically just a "recoup" day and we were lazy in the room.  Tina beat Rod at her new game, Stratego. 

While they were out in the morning, they went up Beaver Creek Village.  Tina was so excited because they were giving away free cookies, had ice sculptures, and she said that night they were going to have FREE ICE SKATING. 

So after dinner ( Spaghetti and salad) we all loaded up and took off to Beaver Creek Village.  It was a challenge getting there because we thought the gondola was running and it was not.  We waited on a bus that didn't come.  Finally we walked a good ways to another bus route and finally made it up there. 

We found the outdoor ice rink and were ready to skate.  I was worried that with it being free it would be packed, but it was not too crowded.  Rod, Rick, Mark, Tori, and Tina were all going to skate.  Annette and I were going to take pictures.  I walked up to Rod after they had their skates and he told me that this "free skating" cost $75!!!!  The skating was free.... but the skate rental was $15 per person plus tax!!!!!!!

They skated for about an hour and had a good time.

The skating gang!
