Snow Tubing at Moonshine Mountain

We started an annual tradition this year of taking the kids snow tubing. Shelly and I decided after being so disappointed in the "Snow Day" at Simpsonville park we would take the kids to a real place to see snow. We have tried to do it since last year and put in on our calendar for President's Day. It was really warm and we were afraid it would not be open.

We left on Monday around lunchtime and made the treck to Hendersonville. It was a loud trip with Abby wanting out of her carseat and Jake and Bryan bugging poor Allie. But we got there and the kids decided they were not going to do it. Thank goodness Shelley said oh yes you are and she bought herself a ticket and dragged the kids to the lift. After the first time Jake was hooked. He loved it. I had to referee little Miss and keep her from running behind the ropes and getting run over by the tubers. She and I had fun watching everyone fly down the hill. We had a snack by the campfire (where she proceeded to throw her cup into the fire). Then packed up for home. It was a great time and a fantastic way to spend a day off from school.

I would love to post some pics but I have a new memory card that my wonderful computer cannot read GRRR!!!!
