I can't believe only a 1/2 hour away from us is a great tubing hill! Kate of course HAD to have a yellow tube and Stephen, blue. Stephen, Mr. Independent, was determined to pull his own tube whenever he could.
We went with our good friends, The Lang's, James, Jennifer, and Peyton.
They also have skiing and snowboarding that seemed pretty busy with teenage kids. (Pardon my "I used to live in Colorado" attitude, but compared to those mountains, you know... The Rockies, this was nothing....) However, it is very cool that we could ski or snowboard that close to our house.
We took these pictures with Kate's little point and shoot camera.... (Not bad quality and it was nice having a tiny camera in my pocket, not over my shoulder.)
Kate was VERY nervous and scared when we got there. She did NOT want to go tubing after seeing the daunting hill.
She did say she would try it and David went down the hill with her. At the bottom, she was all smiles and never stopped for 3 hours!
Stephen was a turtle.... he would sit in the tube, tuck his head down and go down with me holding on to his tube. He didn't pop his head up until we got to the bottom and then he would say, "Again, Again!!!" (I think he liked it.)
Big surprise, Stephen, had a major melt down at the top of the mountain. For about 45 minutes we didn't know how he was going to get down the hill. Yes, I wanted to just put him in his tube and go down the hill, but he wouldn't sit down! Luckily, we got permission for him to ride down in the tube with me. We got a snack and a break and about 45 minutes later we were tubing again with no problems.
We had a great time!!!
