Extreme Tubing

Yesterday my mom's family all got together and did some tubing. I am calling it extreme tubing because we didn't just go to some park with a big hill, no we went to the foothills right above the water tower at like 7 PM and tubed down those hills... dodging trees and shrubbs and even in one place part of the remains of someone's prize elk. YUCK!!!! This night was probably the best I've had in months... Those people who were cool enough to join will proably agree with me. Everyone else can just look at these sweet pic's and be sad they didn't get to join in on the fun. Carol and I hiked up to the very top of the hill to tube down it... it was so beautiful up there that we decided to hike up again but with a camera and Jory the second time... You can't tell from the pictures but it was incredible up there last night... The lights in the city were reflecting off of the snow, and it was just so so peaceful!

Phil felt that he was missing out on some of the fun so he eventually joined us at the top....

After our photoshoot was over, we all tubed back down the mountain and met up with the rest of the family... We found my mom and Aunt Linda doing some awesome tubing down a little hill next to the one we chose.

And I found these two party poopers standing around talking about how they are too cool to tube with everyone else because in their words, "We are smarter than you are and don't want to get hurt"... Looks like they missed out on all the fun....

Here is the only time that my dad got on one of the tubes... yes it looks like he is bodyslamming my mom, but don't worry, no one actually got hurt in the posing of this picture... Don't they look cute though?? I love my mom and dad, they are the best in the whole world!!!

And here's a few more pic's... A super cute one of my mom and Leon, they were telling me how different it looks up by the water tower now from when they were growing up... and telling me that you used to be able to point out things like people's houses and stores, Now all you see is a brilliantly beautiful light that makes your jaw drop. And one of my Cousin (who thinks its funny to lob snowballs at people namely me as they cruise by him on thier tube) and his super cute family...

When we got done with all of the tubing fun we hopped down to the cemetery and built some snowmen by my grandparents headstone and then took a group picture of everyone... This ended up turning into a snowball fight which ended up in Jory and I in the snow... him putting my face in the snow, and Phil paying Jory back for that by putting his face in the snow.... It was definitely worth it to watch Phil take Jory down. :)
Yes I'm pointing at the "face part" that is in a very obsure place... Someone said it was supposed to be a button, but I thought that you were supposed to have more than just one button... And the snowman next to me looked like snoopy... he was awesome!!!
Check out how wet my pants are.... They are completly soaked all the way up to my mid thigh...
