Totally Tubular! (day 3 of the ski vacation)

I knew when going out to Colorado that I would not want to ski all four days so I checked out our other options.  Copper Mountain has a tubing hill and it looked like a lot of fun so we decided that day three would be a rest day for the kids and me and we would go tubing.  Dana, Caleb and Sarah decided on a rest day too so the boys spent the morning at home relaxing with tv and video games while the girls hit the outlet mall one town away.  We found some great bargains and our legs enjoyed the rest from the snow boots. While we were relaxing John, Kevin and Hannah were having their day on the slopes.  They got to hit all the blues and blacks their hearts desired without having to be slowed down by the rest of us.  Everyone enjoyed their morning.
Then it was time for the kids and I head to head to the tubing hill.  We couldn't talk anyone else into joining in but it was a blast!  We went down the first time together holding onto each other's tubes and their smiles at the bottom were priceless.  They have four hills each with a different amount of speed.  Ella was a, go straight to the fastest hill while Sam preferred to stay at level two.  The guys will give you as much spin as you want as you go down the hill and both kids were all about that.  We had a lot of fun whether going down the hill solo or together.  It is definitely something we will want to do on our next ski vacation! 

Ready to hit the tubing hill! 

She wasn't happy I was taking her picture, she was ready to go! 

All smiles after the first run!
