A day off of school and Dad taking a day off of works means we need to have some fun. So we sent Syd off to play with Mason and we headed up to Bogus Basin Ski Resort for some tubing fun. They have a great hill to tube down and then and even greater rope tow that pulls you back up to the top of the hill. I was a little worried about it being to cold as it has been freezing in the valley due to an inversion which means no sunshine. As we drove up the mountain the fog got thicker and thicker and the trees and plants were covered with thick layers of frost. It was so beautiful and it looked like it should be 7:00 am instead of 3:30 pm. Then the fog started to disappear as we climbed in elevation and suddenly we were above the clouds/inversion. The sky was a beautiful shade of blue and the sun was warmer than ever. Suddenly, my several layers of clothing seemed a bit much. I wasn't sure what to expect from this tubing experience but it was a blast. After the first ride down, Zach yelled, "that was AWESOME, let's do it again." And again we went as many time as we could in the two hour window we were given. We got creative and would hold on each others feet and then they would spin you around before they pushed you down the hill. It was crazy fun and a little nauseating. The boys were of course starving (I am scared for my future grocery bill) so we headed back down the hill ate some Quizno's -- Alex's new favorite place and picked up our Syd. I think she had just as much fun as she got to go to the YMCA with Mason and play on the kid water slides.

Looks and sounds like tons of fun! I can imagine those boys can pack away the food. Just wait until they're teenagers. LOL ;)
That view looks amazing and a rope to pull you up the hill sounds even more amazing. That sounds like a fun winter activity and good choice to leave the 3 year old drama behind;)
