We went tubing today for the first time!!!

It was so much fun... It was a great way to finish our time with "The Big Snow" by Berta and Elmer Hadler...

DH came up with the idea as a way to actually get to play in snow since we have had very little this year...After doing some checking we found out that an area ski resort  had tubing and that it was affordable for our budget...

So I loaded up the kids, we picked dad up at work, and off we went for an afternoon of fun.. and it was great!!!

You don't have to have any special clothes, but if it had been colder, we could have rented ski clothes reasonably, so a coat, gloves, and a boggan were the standard fair...

There is an escalator to carry you and the tube up the hillside and then for 2 hrs. you get to go down it... so, up and down we went all afternoon...and then topped the evening off by having dinner out...
