We knew that she would like it. I mean after
SWISI was such a hit, it was a no brainer. We just didn't know how MUCH she would like LOVE it.
Sledding.
Outdoors.
With.
Snow that is. :)
For the long weekend,
4 days including the Inauguration Day holiday!, we made the easy drive up to
Whitetail for Riley's first snow and tubing experience. It was a BLAST. Our first step, which may amuse those that live up where it's really cold, we seriously bundled our child....
Think Ralphie's brother from A Christmas Story for a reference. She couldn't put her arms down and she could barely walk because her balance was all thrown off from the layers we piled on her. That would be: tights, cotton pants, fleece pants, windbreaker pants, $4.98 boys snowboots from Target, a long sleeve onesie, fleece hoodie, big puffy coat, snow hat and waterproof mittens. Somewhere her grandmas are proud! After filling out her liability release form and handing over a well worth it $6 we were off to get her tube...
She fit perfectly inside her mini tube which we loved because there was no way she was sliding or falling out. It conveniently had a tow rope to haul her up and down the hill. Notice her first "ski tag" attached to her zipper. The first two trips down the hill she was a little bit unsure of what was going on...
But once she caught on there was no turning back. Just like with SWISI she
strongly protested cried and pitched a fit if we even paused to catch our breath. It was COMPLETELY worth it though to hear her saying "EEEEEEE!" - adult speak WHEEEEEE! as she slid down the hill over and over again.
We would have stayed all day, but once that lower lip started going into full on "I'm cold" chattering we
left peacefully dragged her out of there kicking and screaming to...
delayer and watch a little Mickey. :)
