Tubing

One of my conditions of going out west for the Holidays was having snow.  Luckily we got a few good days of snow.  Snow is something that doesn't happen a lot in Missouri and when it does it is more ice than actual snow and it only lasts a day or two if we are lucky.  A couple must activities when it snows is pulling a tube behind the 4-wheeler and than sledding/tubing.  We did both why we were here.  I was able to pull most of the Kent's and Wardles around.  David also pulled a few kids including Brindi.  Oddly enough, I never pulled Brindi.  The highlight was throwing Jaxon.  David also fell but I think it was on purpose to make me feel better about my hopeful crazy driving.  Below is a couple videos of the action.

We also headed over to the Lynndyl hill for some sledding and tubing.  We had a pretty good turn out and some very fresh snow.  It was great!

I think this is Jaxon and Jordan going down the hill.

Emilee was great with our kids and she played/tubed a lot with Brindi and Brooke.  It was great to see cousins playing together.

We also had to have our hot chocolate milk and cookies.  A Lovell tradition for tubing.

Brooke with her country waterproof system.  All ready for tubing.  Sadly I took her down the big hill and too much snow flew up and got in her face and that ruined any further tubing experience that day for her.  See the video below for proof.

Celeste and Joe

Also a must when tubing is the train.  We did several and this was one arrangement with Celeste in front followed by Amy and Kadee, Jordan, ?, Ashley, JaCee, and me.

Below are several videos of the experience.  Tears, laughter, fear, wrecks, commentary, and FUN!
