Tubing in Garden Valley

The first weekend after moving in we went up to Garden Valley (about 90mins away) to go tubing with some friends. It was way more fun and intense than my kids thought it would be!

My kids were a little timid to try it alone, so we did the double tubes with our kids. I had fun, went down a couple times... but was fine watching Brock while Scott took the kids up. I think I've turned into a wus as I get older and older. I took a single tube down and caught some ice on a corner on the way down and hit my already bruised elbow, which sent me spinning down the hill. I was dizzy and sick by the time I hit the end... so I was fine taking a break! :)

 Scott was a little sick that day

(which sick bug I caught the following week- much worse though, 

gave me the flu and strep throat, thanks hun)

 but Scott toughed it out and went on some runs with the kids.

Ella is my biggest scardy cat and she would only go with some major convincing from her new friend Addi. These two went on the double tube for the next hour and a half straight. They loved it!

I was too protective to take Brock down at all, so we had fun playing and falling in the snow. He didn't know what he was missing. What a fun weekend to start our life here in Idaho with some new friends!!
