tubing fun

18 February 2013

For the long president’s day weekend we all decided to go have some fun at our cabin. Saturday we went skiing and Sunday was a road trip into Leavenworth. There we hit the tubing park at the Leavenworth Ski Hill. Snow coverage was super low there but they had enough on the tube run to still have fun.

To get to the top of the tube run, your tube is attached to a rope tow and you are towed up backwards. Then you are unattached at the top and sent down the run. If you are lucky (or unlucky for dizzy folks like me) they guy will spin you like crazy and off you go spinning down. Sometimes they sent two tubes off together for a super fast ride.

The girls loved it and laughed and did it over and over. I thought it was pretty fun too and I think so did Tim. You were able to take as many runs as you wanted for 90 minutes. After tubing we walked around the town a bit. It was cold and we were hungry, so we got a bite to eat then headed back to the cabin. Fun weekend.

Good luck Mrs. T.

In October of 2012 Kayla’s teacher took a leave of absence due to health reasons. This Feb. she officially retired. She came in for a little party and to talk to the kids and read them a book. She will be very missed! Turns out the long term substitute will also be leaving in two weeks as the school decided to hire someone long term (she wanted to finish out the year but not continue as she wants to move into administration). So, Kayla will soon have her 3rd teacher of the year. She has had bad luck like this before as her kindergarten teacher left mid year for surgery and recovery. Hopefully the new teacher can jump right in and keep the flow going. I guess it keeps the kids from getting too attached to any one person. Good luck to Ms. V too.
