A Winter Adventure

I thought I should build onto Kim’s snow week post, seeing as we still have obscene amounts of snow. So yesterday Caitlin and I went to a birthday party for our friends Kayla and Tessa. They were both turning 18, so naturally we went snow tubing. We had to ride an hour away to get to the snow tubing place. Now everyone was super pumped, but I especially was because it was my first time going tubing. When we got there we all piled on our winter gear, grabbed a tube and got in line. We were all anxiously waiting when finally a man wearing a fluorescent yellow vest came out and told us the rules. Then they started the “magic carpet” that you stand on and it pulls you to the top. When you get to the top you have 2 options: the big hill or the baby hill. We went big. Go big or go home. My first trip down Caitlin and I linked our tubes together. We started whizzing down the hill, snow spitting into your eyes, wind rushing over your head, the drop you feel in your stomach when you go down a dip. What a rush! I was so ecstatic we HAD to go again. Caitlin and I teamed up with our good friend Erika a.k.a. Buttons (or butt for short). We did not walk the entire time. We ran to the magic carpet, pushed people to get to the top, ran to get off the carpet, and ran to get in line. Then we went down the hill and repeated. We like to make everything a competition so we would try and beat other people by running everywhere and cutting people off in line. We beat woman with ears on her hood, man who thought we were annoying, and most importantly our biggest victory was over foolish teenage boys. We got 17 trips down the hill in 2 hours. So at this time it’s 8 and we haven’t eaten since we got home from school at 3. WE ARE HUUUNNNNGGGRRRYYYYYYY!!!!!! Luckily it’s FREE pizza, popcorn, drinks and hotdogs day!! The best day ever! So we ate 5 pieces of pizza each and a liter of rootbeer each. Then we almost barfed. So then we ate cupcakes. Then we rode back home, jammin’ to Ke$ha the whole way.
