Tubing Hill

Curtis had a blast on the big tubing hill we went on off of I-84.

This big tube would take him clear to the road after going all the way down the huge, long hill we had to climb up every time.

Andrew had fun for awhile until he got snow in his gloves and his fingers got freezing cold. Then he wasn't so happy so he came back to the truck to warm up.

Hannah had one trip down the hill with mom (screaming & crying all the way) because she didn't think it would be fun. I think she actually had a fun time, but then she went down with dad and near the end they hit a big hole which stopped them suddenly and they went off the tube face flat in the snow with Brian on top of Hannah. That was not so much fun and Hannah pretty much got a face full of snow. She was really crying after this and was definitely done. So we brought her back to the truck to warm up and she had fun sitting in the truck and drinking hot chocolate. It may take her a little while to forget that before she is willing to try again (like maybe a year!!)

Mom & Hannah after she warmed up....she will go in the snow and play, just not on a snowtube again and especially with dad!! She thinks it is all his fault!! Can you blame her??

Twin Power....Activate!!

Yes, I love being a twin and dressing up as twins. I know our husbands think it is funny that we like to dress the same (especally Kevin) and hopes we don't show up in the same thing when we get together or go out somewhere. But we love it and of course last year we had to buy the same ski coat. So when the Olivers come to town and we go out playing in the snow.....this is what you're going to get!! The kids had a blast on the biggest snow hill they've ever been on (its up I-84 and at the rest stop heading westbound after the Peterson exit). It's a great place to go because you can park close to where you will be tubing instead of walking a long ways after you park, there are restrooms there and it is a long, long hill. It was very cold that day so we didn't get to stay too long, but it was fun. The Dicous also went with us and Jen got some great action shots of the kids going down the hill so hopefully she will post those on her blog.....
