Snow Tubing

People often complain about the weather during the winter months but it is so much more fun to embrace it.  As the Alaskans say "There's no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing."  So as long as "ye are prepared ye shall not fear" the winter.  However getting all of those clothes on several people and making sure that everyone is properly dressed can be quite a task.  But alas everyone was geared up and prepped to face our Saturday adventure of Snow Tubing.  It was a really cold day but the sun was shinning and it felt good to spend a few hours outside enjoying the elements.  Andrew was all too excited to be dragged on his tube where ever he went and he loved the tube lift.  While on the lift he became accustom to laying on a tube, making it taxing on the person dragging the item usually me, he carefully watched his mittened hand drag in the snow making tracks all the way up the hill. We alternated going down o single tubes and the big family tubes.  We had fun watching each other get hurled down the mountain.  I really enjoyed seeing everyone having a good time.  At about the end of our three hour lift pass we were getting "done".  It wasn't until I was a few feet away from the lodge that Andrew let me know that he was really cold.  Poor little guy had ice for hands and feet.  He is a tuff guy and for that he should be rewarded (he got an airplane).  Everyone was great and I didn't hear any complaints about personal discomforts until it was time to go.  Perfect day!
