In-town fancy breakfast

The second day of “Lanie Weekend” started off as a relaxing sleep-in morning; but as soon as we were ready, we packed up and checked out.  We put our belongings in the car and walked to a local cafe to eat. After breakfast we headed to Attitash. Attitash is a ski moutain in the winter, but in the summer it  has alipine slides, bungee trampolines, water features, and much more.

Not keeping her eye on the road

Our first stop was, of course, the alpine slide. You have to take a ski lift to get to the top, and then get little cart on wheels, which you controll with a lever in the middle: forward to accelarate, backwards to break. You roll on a long slide decending down the moutain.  I ended up going slower then everyone else, because of how much lighter I am, but it was still fun.

Bungee flip

Next Zoe, Nadia, and I went on the bungee trampoilne (Mom and Dad declined). It’s basically a trampoline that you jump on, but you are fitted out in a harness and conected to 2 mechanical arms via bungee cords. The operater raises the mechanical arms, stretching the cords, therefore making it easiar to bounce.  You go much higher than on a regular trampoline, so it’s easy to do flips.

I did this.

We did many other things that before lunch, including an air bag jump, were you jump on to an enormas inflatable cushion , the climbing wall, the mountain coaster, and, most memorably, the waterslides. There were 2 different stations of water slides. One you rode on mats down 3 different slides ( I somehow managed to flip myself around during one ride), and hit the 3 ft deep pool with a huge splash.

Hot day: good day for the water slide

The other you rode down one big slide in tubes for 1, 2, and 3 people.  You could also ask the attendent to spin you, or send you down backwards ( I did both in turn). Both were a great way to cool off on the super hot day.
