My cousin Matthew (whom my kids refer to as "Uncle Matthew") came for a visit a couple of weeks ago. He grew up in So. Cal. and now lives in AZ so, funny thing, he's NEVER been in the snow. Go figure right? Well, of course, we just had to take him up on the mountain to play in the white stuff. We bought a few tubes from a local tire shop and headed up. We had a lot of fun, although the hike to the hill and then up it was a killer. We'll opt for a tubing spot closer to the road next time. Can't wait to go again!!!
Here is our car, loaded and ready for some fun in the snow.
Talon had a blast climbing up and down snow banks while we loaded the tubes back onto the car. In this picture, Josh has just thrown him into the snow. He loved it!!!
Uncle Matthew and Talon. Kaleb was too cold for the picture.
Kaleb and Talon...all bundled up.
Uncle Matthew trying to decide if that was worth the lung burning climb to the top. You have to remember, he's from AZ (600 ft. above sea level). At the top of Fairview Canyon it's about 10,000 ft. We didn't even warn him. How mean was that?
Josh and Talon. Tal sure doesn't mind the hike to the top.
You're almost there...keep going. Josh, Talon, and Uncle Matthew at the top resting before the ride down.

Yay for Uncle Matthew!! His first tube ride down a snowy mountain. Good thing we were there to document this special occasion.

I'm glad you guys had so much fun! I don't think we even took our kids tubing this year... LAME! We meant to, we just never did it.
