it's interesting to me to see what people choose to write about in their blogs. i have a few that i check on daily... people write about everything from what's going on at their jobs, in their pregnant tummies, with their favorite sports teams, inside the deepest workings of their souls ... it's amazing. my problem is that i don't really know what i want my blog to be about. it has no personality. no theme. i feel like maybe it's just a place where i come to dump the heart-breaking realities i don't want to bring my friends down with. that doesn't seem like much of a reason to have a blog. perhaps i'll make a commitment to myself in this blog. every so often, i will go ahead and share something wonderful.
today i will share one of the most FUN things i have done in years: SNOW TUBING!
none of the pictures i have really accurately shows what the track looks like, but i'll attach a few just to give an idea. this is a picture of 4 people linked up in their tubes sliding down the tracks. fun, right?

here's another shot of one person heading down. you can kind of see what the tracks look like. also, if you ask them to at the top, they'll spin you in an overly-nauseating kind of way while you rush down the track (it's about as long as a football field). sweet, right? i'm not the screaming type, and i shrieked my head off all the way down while twisting like a top. my stomach is gurgling at the memory.

anyway... it's not quite as fun as snowboarding is (seriously... that's more like flying) but it's great fun, especially with whole families. if you try it drunk, don't ask to be spun. i think it's pretty self-explanatory as to why.

fyi, these pics were taken at keystone
