Tubing at Soldier Hollow

On Saturday we went up to Soldier Hollow in Midway and went tubing. If you haven't done this it is SO MUCH FUN!!! It's a bit pricey but in the end worth it! You have to call for a reservation because they only let so many people on the mountain at one time. They schedule in 2 hour blocks all day and into the evening. We went from 2:00 - 4:00 PM and the weather was just perfect! Sunny and bright and even though it was cold it somehow felt warm! When we got there we checked in and then bundled up and walked over to the tubing hill where there are chairs set up for spectators and chose a tube and got in line to be pulled up the mountain. Once at the top you can choose from 6 runs and down you go - SO MUCH FUN!!! Once at the bottom, get in line and go again and again until you can't stand it any more or until your 4 year old has a melt down - he he he - This is a great family outing, one I think we will do again!

This is the way to tube! Lay on your tube and
the the cable pulls you up!

Courtney, Alec, Matthew & Dad before the
fun begins!

Matthew on his little tube - he is not happy
or excited about our adventure!

Waiting in line - such hard work to go tubing!

How about a snack...

Tim the tuber!

Courtney talking on her cell phone - she needed
a break from her tube rides!

Matt asleep - he had had enough of this!

In the car on the way home - tubing is so much
work!!

Chris,

I'm glad you are finally doing some more posts! It looks like you had a great Christmas. We sure missed seeing everyone. This was the first New Year's that we weren't with the Vest family. That sledding looks like so much fun. I would love to take my kids there! And it's not fair that Courtney can look so cute in all of her snow gear!

Hey how are you? Hope you don't mind but I am blog stalking you from Shelley's blog :) Your family looks great. I can't believe how big the boys are getting and Courtney is BEAUTIFUL! She looks old. I guess that is what people would say about Brooke too if you haven't seen her in awhile. Very cute blog!

Not only does it look like fun, but it guarantees kids will sleep... which means maybe I could too!!!

Looks like you had such fun tubing. I laughed at Matts picture, he must have been worn out, and Alec and his cute rosy cheeks and beautiful Courtney.
