SOLIDER HOLLOW TUBING

Jared and Erin came into town for Presidents Day weekend and we all went up to Midway to go tubing. We found a great deal on Groupon for half the cost, so Dan and I took the kids out of school to spend a family day together.

As always my kids were in heaven going up and down the mountain. This is my kind of sledding as well,when they pull you up the mountain and there is no work involved. The best thing about the day was that it was sunny and beautiful, we were shedding layers throughout the afternoon because it was so warm.

Kaitlyn wasn't quite as happy as the rest of us and was a little frightened going down the hill (quite the contract to Reagan, who had the biggest grin on her face), so Jared and Erin took turns staying back with her, while the rest of us would go up the hill and hook up our tubes to go down the mountain together. The more weight you have the faster you go down the hill. I had to get mad at Dan one time because he put he feet in the snow to slow us down at the bottom of the hill and all the snow kicked up and went down my shirt - it was so COLD!

At the end of the day, we stopped in a little bakery for some pastries when Dan realized he was missing his phone. We looked everywhere for it in the car and even tried his find your phone app, but nothing worked. We called the Solider Hollow and check with the front office and they didn't have it either, so we decided to drive back to the tubing hill, so see if we could find it on the mountain or in a tube. We spoke with a couple of workers and no one had it. Dan left his name and number at the front desk, but no luck. When we arrived home, there was a message from Solider Hollow stating that they had his phone. One of the workers had it and turned it in during a shift change. Tho following morning he had to drive all the way back to Midway to get his phone (So I made him get more pastries, while he was there!)
