Tubing {Times} Two

This had to be one of our favorite things to do in Vail!

{But not before a delicious slice of cheese pizza, a few scenic pictures...}



{and a silly one!}

At first...I was a little intimidated by the huge, steep hill above us...


...so Emily and I tried out the baby hill first!


But after that...Emily ditched me...and headed for the big hill all by herself! {I'm so glad that she does not have my fears and anxieties!}


{Look at that face...she can't wait to get to the top!}

The best part of tubing is you get an exhilerating ride down the hill...and a nice relaxing ride up...

{going up!}



...with some awesome views to enjoy on the way!





{Going down!}


{Dan & Alex reaching the bottom}



I'm so glad it was such a gorgeous day so I could capture those beautiful snowy-capped mountains!
And because it was such a blast...we decided to go a second time!

{Well...I decided to play photographer this time instead since I was using my little 'pocket' camera the first time. However...the conditions were cold and snowing...making my fingers like ice cubes, my camera vulnerable to the elements, and near white-out conditions! But perfect for tubing!}




{Dan and Emily are excited to go! Woot! Woot!}


{Alex going down Superman style!}


{Super FlyGirl!}


{SuperMan Dan!}

Luckily while the three of them were supertubing...there was a little enclosed hut for us viewers to stay warm and toasty and thaw our fingers and faces!

This almost brings us to the end of our trip...and pictures! But come back tomorrow...we're not done, yet!

{And now that we're home...we're supposed to get some snow here...yay! Now only if we had a few mountains in our backyard!}
