SNOW TUBING AT BRIAN HEAD

On Thursday March 26th we decided to take the kids to Brian Head and go tubing. Yeah they missed school but do you think they mind missing school. This was the only day we could go, because on Monday I am going in for surgery and we thought by the time I was healed there would be no snow left!! We actually thought the girls would want to go snowboarding but they said they wanted to go tubing. When I told Tahj that we were going the go play in the snow he was so excited, he told me lay down in the "no" (which meant snow) and he would show me how he was gonna lay in the snow. This idea was all Mike's idea because last weekend the Priest & Laurels went to Brian Head to go skiing and since Mike can't ski because of his knees, him & Doug went tubing and he came home and told us how much fun he had and that we should go as a family, so we did!!

In the pictures above is in the morning when we were getting ready to leave. Of course we had to stop at Wallys so everyone could get something to eat & drink. (especially Maliyah, she was already asking what was for lunch). As you can tell Tahj got his favorite thing to eat, a HOTDOG!! And you can tell Preslee is soo excited to be going to the snow... On our way to Cedar City it started snowing, it was snowing so hard that you could barely see the road. By now I'm thinking it is going to be so cold at Brian Head, did we pick the coldest day to go...When we got to Brian Head it was 17 degrees and the wind was blowing. Tahj was ready to be playing in the snow, but I told him he had to get his warm clothes on. As you can tell in the picture of him sitting in the snow he is ready to go tubing, he's just waiting on everyone else to get ready. And of course we can't forget to do snow angels, the girls showed Tahj how to make snow angels. But I think he just wanted to lay in the snow, it almost looks like he was asleep.

Everyone having fun going down the hill. I think Tahj & Maliyah went down every time. When Tahj would get to the bottom of the hill, he would say "AGAIN", "AGAIN." He definitely loved it, I don't think he even minded the weather being freezing cold. I think Mykae went down 4 times and she was done, she said it was too cold!! But I think she had fun racing her sister down the hill a couple of times, and in one of the pictures you will notice Maliyah chasing her tube down the hill. She said Mykae made her go down the twisty track, but they were all straight, so who knows what she was talking about, she just wanted someone to blame because she fell off her tube..You can even notice it snowing in some of the pictures too, it wouldn't have been to bad but the wind was blowing so that made it even colder. But all of us had FUN!!

We thought we were gonna get snowed in...we went in the lodge to get a snack and it started snowing so hard that we could hardly see the parking lot.. But it quit by the time we were ready to leave. As you can tell Tahj wasn't to happy to be going home, he wanted to stay and play in the snow..But that didn't last to long because he was asleep by the time we got down the hill, actually everyone was asleep, even Preslee. Even though she didn't get to get out in the snow..it was way to cold for her. Her & Mykae sat in the truck where it was nice & warm and watched everyone else freeze there butts off!! When we got home Tahj was already saying go back to the "no." Looks like this will have to be something we do every year now.
