Snow Tubing

We have been wanting to take Abby to see snow and planned on going before my parents big surprise but it worked out even better that they were here to go with us.  We raided Marianne's snow gear and she had more that enough for us all to brave the cold except for Abby who borrowed and outfit from Brooke in Hawaii.  Ski Round top is only about 30 minutes away from Matt's family's house and has a snow tubing area.

We took two cars up and got an hour pass to tube away.  Once we got there we were told that the big hill was for 5 and older and like the diligent rule followers that we are we promptly took Abby up the lift and put her down the hill before they could stop us.  As soon as she  started down the hill they radioed down to check the girl on lane two because she looked too young:).  Abby didn't want to wear her gloves and was pretty much done after one big and a few baby runs any way.  Grandma Martin and Abby headed in to enjoy the lodge,  drink hot chocolate and eat french fries but not before Grandma go a few good runs in herself.
