Wild Winter!

Wow! What a winter we have had here in Utah. every year I would catch myself saying "I wish we could have a winter like when we were kids." I remember when I was a kid I would walk out my front door after a snow storm and the snow would be up past my knees, and we would always get snowed in from school. I remember waking up in the morning and if it snowed we would sit by the radio to see if our school was closed. There is no way that would happen now. I sure enjoyed winter this year but I am now glad it has come to an end. Our favorite activity this winter was tubing. (besides snowboarding for Casey and Kalea) We have not had snow stay long enough in the valley to be able to go tubing in the neighborhood, but this year we would go tubing up behind the new Syracuse High school football stadium. It was a lot of fun. We would spend half of the afternoon building jumps to go off of. It was a lot of work pulling all that snow up the hill.
For all of you that don't know I work in a Pediatric dental office, and for the past couple years we have gone up to Snowbasin for a day out on their tubing hill. It is so much fun. All you do it hook your tube to a tow rope and it pulls you up a huge hill and when you get to the top you jump back in your tube and cruise down the hill. We have had a lot of fun with this. There are many people that go so we socialize while enjoying donuts and hot chocolate. I would recommend this place to everyone.
