Summer in Mammoth!

This post is a little late, but I really want to blog about our summer fun in Mammoth!  We stayed for a week in August and had a blast.  Simon and I went mountain biking (we biked alllll the way down Mammoth Mountain!)  We paid for a two hour long lesson with a pro, which was totally worth the money...he took us to the head of the lines and actually stayed with us for four hours total.  It was grueling and very technical, but totally worth it. 

Noah loves Mammoth...he asks to go nearly every day and always has a blast.  A few weeks ago, he was sick, and do you know what he said would make him feel better?  Going to Mammoth!  This year was special because he was old enough to take part in some of the mountain activities like zip lining and rock wall climbing.  He was so fearless!  Until he got to the top of the rock wall and then looked down.  He had a look of panic.  I don't think he was paying attention to how high he was going during his ascent.  Of course we also rode the gondola (which Noah *loves*) and ate way too much ice cream. 

We are so lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa's condo to stay in and that they freely give their time watching Noah so that Simon and I can have some fun couple time.  We couldn't have gone mountain biking or out to dinner at the local pub without their help watching Noah.  We can't wait to go back in a few weeks for Christmas!
