Tubing!

A couple in our ward owns Magic Mountain Ski Resort (C apparently knew all about this, but I sure didn't!), and invited everyone up for a ward activity to go tubing. They have a special tubing hill, with a tow rope to pull you up to the top, so you don't even have to walk. L really wanted to go, but I wasn't sure the long trip there and back in the rain and snow, with possible snow too deep to get our car through at the top would be worth it (someone who'd been up two days before said his 4WD truck had been fishtailing and got stuck a few times). I sucked it up and we went anyway, and I'm so glad we did!


It started raining pretty bad on us as we headed out, and we weren't sure if we were going to make it ... but as we got closer, the rain turned to snow. Better for tubing, but it sure made C worried about getting back out.






My hat got caught on the pull line one time, on the way up the hill, and S took it upon herself to hold my hat on from then on, so most of my tubing experience was going down the hill blind.

I put L in a tube of her own and put S on my lap. I think it worked out well that way. I wasn't about to put C on a tube, less than two months out of back surgery. Poor thing, he had to stay in the clubhouse and take care of J.
