Tubing at Great Bear.

Yesterday we took Emma to Great Bear to go tubing, and she had So. Much. Fun!! Emma had never been tubing before, and she really had no idea what to expect. John's work decided to have a tubing outing as a group, and Emma and I came along as well. (Grandma and Grandpa came to babysit Elliott while we went).

We got to Great Bear at around 5pm, and we pretty much immediately hit up the tubing hill. Emma was so excited from the beginning. She couldn't wait to go down. John and I were actually kind of intimidated, the other kids were just flying down the hill. It was crazy how fast they were going. Emma and I went down together the first time, hooking our tubes together, and she giggled the whole way down the hill. And after that she wanted to go down all by herself, which she did. Again and again and again. That girl could not stop smiling. It was adorable.

We took a greasy supper break, and ate some supper in the lodge, and then we did some more tubing. Emma really got the hang of things, and did really well. The only part that made me nervous, is when she got to the bottom by herself, because she wasn't very good at looking out for other tubes coming down the hill, and they all come flying down the hill. Luckily, we all escaped injury, and we had a great evening. We stayed until a little bit after 8pm, and then we had to drag Emma out of there. That little girl loved it. I can't wait to take her back again someday.

We watched a couple skiers and snowboarders on our way to the car. They make it look really fun, but no way would I ever do that. I think I would definitely break something. Emma wanted to try skiing (haha), but I told her she had to be a little older. It was a gorgeous evening for some tubing, and we all had a really good time.

Both kids have just loved being outside lately. It's so cute to bundle them up, and then watch them just have a blast in the snow. We've been very lucky to have had a mild winter this year, and we have been enjoying our time outdoors. And both kids love a little hot cocoa to warm up with after we come back inside.
