More Tubing

Here's a video of BigE and myself riding together on our day of tubing

Can You Read Me

Apparently we're having technical difficulties. Can any of our regular readers drop a comment.

24 in 1994

Yes Jack Bauer 24.

Been sending this to a couple of people that hadn't seen it. I thought I'd post it here. (Note how I didn't send everyone an email that had been forwarded fifty times.)

From the fall but funny as heck. Plus think of how far we've come in 15 years.24: The Unaired 1994 Pilot

Tubing

BigE and I headed to the ski hills to do some tubing last weekend. Despite several days of above zero temperatures they still had some snow. It was a beautiful day, almost 6 degrees.

After BigE had gone with Mama and Auntie Bevie a few weeks ago he was pumped to go today

There was a little converyor belt to take the tubes up the hill. Head to your right and your on the bunny slope. Head to your left and you have a choice of two tubing hills.
You can just make out someone on a tube at the bottom of the big hill for a sense of size.

After a couple of dozen runs we were getting tired. BigE found a way to conserve energy.
When the crowds were getting small we were getting runs done in 4 minute intervals. Slide down the hill one at a time. Meet up. Walk around the hut to the conveyor. That ride up was the slowest part. Then a short hop up the hill and it starts all over again.

Here's a video of a run:

Note how BigE was getting into the spins. This wasn't the fastest he was spinning either. One time he said a big spin and we weren't going together. So I didn't temper his enthusiasm. The guy gave him a big old spin. I thought I was going to find him at the bottom of the hill sick. But no sir he had a blast.

One Cute Pic

I'm not sure when the heck this is from in the last two weeks. But who cares!

Wii Wii Wii all the Way Home!

BigE has the Wii bug. Tonight at bed time he cut to his serious voice near the end.

"Dada for Christmas I want the sports Wii"

The previous night he had told Mama

"Mama can we get the sports Wii for my Birthday."

Apparently he had decided on his Birthday the day before so that we know what to get him. After all Santa may not know.

Quote of the Day 73

The gang is at our place tonight for home church Wii. Yeah I'm not 100% on what that means either. BigE is heading to bed after playing some Mario racing game when he starts telling me

"I like that Wii. There's racing Wii, sports Wii, Pirates Wii. I bet in Pirates Wii you have to fight them with your swords"

I smile and nod. I assume he's thinking games. Later Mama goes up stairs to find him awake. (He's complaining about the noise). When he tells her

"Make sure you get the name of the Wii and look at the front of the box so we know which one it is"
