Snow tubing Sunday!


It's a three day weekend, there is snow on the ground....need you have wondered what my niece and nephew are up to? Of course, snow tubing on a sunny winter Sunday afternoon!

Sarah getting ready at the top!
Luke loves this hill!
There are a half dozen moguls on the one run which makes for lots of fun going down. Hay bales at the bottom of the hill keeps everyone safe.

The hill is steep enough for speed and small enough that lots of runs can be made.
I'll have a movie of all the action prepared and up on my new blog site in a few weeks!
Snacks are always a good thing.
A little nourishment can keep a kid going and going and going! Auntie enjoyed herself on a tube designed for water rafting until a patch of hay ripped it open. Then I was forced to use the flimsy plastic sled on several runs. Let me tell you, after going down on a cushy tube, the little skimmers are bone jarring in comparison. I'll be looking real close at some end of season sales in a few weeks, let me tell you!

Love-love-love snowtubing. We have it in Estonia - with big hills and escalator-thingies to get you up again. And of course with bigger snowtubes than these plastic ones ;)
Great to see that despite the great ocean between, we are still enjoying same things:)

when i was in college, we got a freak storm with two feet (in southern tennessee, that is amazing). we had a great hill on campus, from our gym on top to the soccer field at the bottom. the local gas station gave us really cheap truck tyre innertubes, and blew 'em up for nothing. that was the most fun, and this looks like a great hill for it, too!
