Catching some speed

Yesterday the kids had the day off and so we layered on our snow clothes once again and made the trip up to Bogus Basin, but this time we didn't go skiing. We sped down an ice covered hill at exhilarating speeds for 2 whole hours and some how it didn't seem like enough. Our friends, Suzy and her kids (plus friends) joined us for the afternoon and it was a blast. At one point, all 8 of us went down together. On other turns Alex would go by herself and Johnny would say he wanted to go by himself and have the guy at the top spin him around and everything. But when it got right down to it, he preferred having someone (especially Suzy) hold onto his tube the whole time. He also claimed to be "tired" after two runs even though he hadn't gotten out of the tube once from the slide down the hill, to me pulling him over to the rope tow that pulled him to the top. Maybe he was emotionally tired. Most people couldn't believe he made the 36 inche height requirement, but I assured them he was a proud 38 inches tall. We'll have to make this an annual event, highly recommended. :o)

I did get some video but for some reason I can't download them onto blogger so they are being uploaded to youtube.com right now. As soon as I figure out the link to view them I'll post it!
