While the fam from around the country (TX, KY, FL) came to our home on the Eastern seaboard to relax and enjoy one another (hopefully!)….we also made some time for some wicked fun activities. Actually, I don’t think relax was the best choice of words! We didn’t stop much – we were having too much of a blast.
The younger (not the youngest!) generation were given a few hours’ pass to go tubing on a not-too-far-away ski slope; along with that gift was childcare for Anna and the chance for Hudson to join us. While we were a bit disappointed that we had to wait for an hour to hit the slopes (there were 8 different runs for tubes), we managed to entertain ourselves with a rowdy game of “up-jenkins” (a Brethren in Christ denominational classic) and coin basketball hoops (a Matt-special).
After our wait, we headed for the lines for tubes, grabbed the overfilled and slippery floats and headed to the people mover.
This is one activity that I think definitely has me won over about the Northeast – I couldn’t have done this in Phoenix. In this video we all intend to start out together….and the challenge is to pick up a mitten that was lost by a group in front of us.
CRAZY PEOPLE!
