We cruised up the gorgeous 28-mile drive from Durango to Durango Mountain Resort, formerly known as Purgatory, soon-to-be-renamed Purgatory. The kids had their choice of activities and Kim and I opted to join them on the Alpine Slide, which is part luge and part...Green Machine? No matter, it's 100% fun.
Kalli and Cody started with the ropes course. I love the determined looks on their faces!
We all went up on the Alpine Slide next. Kim and I went first, followed by Cody and Kalli.The lady working at the lift was right: it was hard to do it just once!
Next up, Kalli went for the Sky High, a sort of reverse bungee jump, and Cody went for the rock climbing.
After that, they went into the Water Balls, which appeared to be utterly exhausting, but was hilarious. It was like watching drunken hamsters trying to walk on water!
Once we wrapped up at Purgatory, we headed on up to Molas Pass for some pictures.
Last, we stopped at Andrews Lake for Cody to do some fishing. He didn't catch anything, but the views were breathtaking, and his casting got better and better with practice.
One of the highlights was a mother duck with eight ducklings that someone said might have been barely a week old.
