It all started when we decided to take Elsie Anne and Henry for a Gondola ride @ 4:45pm, when the Gondola usually closes just after 5pm. We were just planning on doing a loop & head back to our car, but once we got to the top, one of the 'Mountain Information' guys told us it wasn't going to close until 6pm!
It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day, so of course we walked around, taking our time & even stopped @ the T-Bar for a snack & drinks! I thoroughly enjoyed my Bud Light, as Mom washed her portion of the quesadilla down with an Irish Coffee drink! After the kiddos finished their snacks, they hopped up & started dancing to the hip-hop tunes. They were quite entertaining as they hugged & danced around each other, even doing some break-dancing moves on the floor:)
When I looked up from them @ 5:20pm and realized the Gondola had already STOPPED, I froze! It took a minute to figure out there was another way down to our car - the bus. I asked the waiter what time the next one came - wouldn't you know, the LAST one came in 15min!!! We quickly paid, packed our things up, and
ran walked as quickly as 2 kids can, to the bus stop! EA & Henry were smiling ear to ear when we told them we had to ride down on the BUS!! They sat perfectly still together, and took everything in! We sang the 'Wheels on the Bus' countless times, and once again, they were the entertainment for the Snowboarders that packed the bus at the last minute!
Pheeew, thank goodness we made it back to our car! It was pretty exciting, but the moral to this story: NEVER trust the 'Mountain Information' guys again!!!
