Fun Winter Weekends



This past weekend was quite snowy in Denver. March is actually our snowiest month in Colorado, but Colorado has always had strange weather patterns. One minute there is snow and 2 days later it’s in the 50’s and 60’s. Since the end of winter is coming, we decided we would buy tickets to go tubing in the mountains.  I have been before and it is pretty fun. They put you on a lift with a tube and the guys at the top grab your tube rope and hurl you down the ski slope.
Unfortunately for us, the snow came down quite heavily this past weekend and the roads were bad, so we decided to do our own version of tubing at home! We call it REDNECK TUBING! My husband hooked up the inner tubes to the back of the truck and took my friend, and I through the snowy streets. I think it was way more intense than tubing down a mountain. We were being pulled at 15 miles per hour behind a truck that was spitting slush and snow into our faces.  We had to watch for parked cars, driving cars, and plowed parts of the street so our bottoms didn’t hit pavement. Dangerous…? Probably, but quite fun, and FREE! I can’t recommend the activity, since it can be a little bit dangerous, but it was a fun way to spend our Saturday. Have a great rest of the week!
