Sammy's birthday





It is hard to believe my baby turned 11 yrs old last week. Where has the time gone? It just seems like yesterday she was falling off playground equipment and learning to walk. We wanted to make her birthday something special and with all the snow we have been having we thought it would be cool (in more ways than 1) to go snow tubing. We looked up and planned for weeks for this special day. As the week of her birthday was here we watched the weather...what do you mean it is going to be in the 60s. I would usually love that kind of weather but not for planning a snow trip. Her birthday we had almost beat the temperature record..we only missed it by 1 degree...we hit the 70s that day. I didn't have a back up plan what were we going to do??? I keep calling the tubing place they keep saying no worries we will be open. How are you going to open the tubing lanes if we don't have any snow? As we pulled in Friday night in our short sleeve shirts we were glad to see they were open. Moonshine had a 12 foot base and kids were flying by. We got our tubes & headed up the mountain...you could walk or take the pully or should I say fall up the hill. It was a blast and I think Jonathan & Sam went down 30 times and we closed the park down. Sam did have one issue, she hit a chunk of ice and bumped out of her tube but she was ok. She bounced right up and went right back up. We did single runs, double runs, and a few trains. It was great and the Bear & Ho had a blast watching them fly down the hill. The moonshine people were great and we will most diffidently go back. The weather thru me for a little worry but everyone had a blast. What else to you plan the kid that isn't afraid of anything other than flying down a mountain wide open? Happy Birthday Shorty!
