Now look at this picture and tell me that doesn't look like fun. Honestly. Can you look at that slick, gleaming white slope and not want to be wizzing down at unmentionable speeds?The saddest part of this are those black things used to slow you down so you don't continue at the high rate of speed over the edge and into the creek on the other side of the fence. Yes. Needful, but still.......
You get in these little tubes and fly down the hill. Depending on which lane you get in depends on if you can go as a group and just at what rate of speed you fly down that hill. (Lane 1 & 2 are the absolute best....)
We started off on this beautiful, sunny day on the slow end and worked our way over. Oh....oh oh oh...... It was so much fun. If the heavies person goes down first in the group, dragging the second one behind, you can actually get a little air time. 
This little guy going down the hill with his daddy ... even now I laugh. It was so funny! There's one lane that has a bit of a 'whoop - ti - do' to it and when his tube goes over it, he doesn't just get air time, he comes off the tube. He gets down to the bottom with uncontrollable giggles rolling out, jumps up off the snow and screams..."Let's do it again! Com'mon Dad!" It was so cute!
Finding these two over in Lane 1 tipped us off that maybe we also should find out why this was so popular. Oh, the boy wasn't the only one getting air time. Whoo-hoo! It was almost as entertaining watching the kids go down the hill as it was to go down ourselves.
Waiting.....his favorite pastime. Though I have to admit that in the past year his personality has changed so much that he tends to be much - MUCH more patient than he ever has been. The changes he has allowed God to make in him........that's a whole 'nother blog in it's own. (sigh) God is so good!
Still waiting......
And what you don't see if the midget man bouncing in and out of each of our tubes...and even some compete strangers' tubes as well. The snowball fights that took place during the wait, the jokes, the horse play....I wish I had a video of all the fun, laughter and just down right fun that we had that day. Thanks to my work out buddy for the suggestion!
