Tubing at Timber Ridge

After Christmas, we went over to Michigan and tried some tubing.  There is an awesome hill set up there at Timber Ridge, I highly recommend it!

You get a tube and you sit in it, the guys at the bottom hook you up on cable line with a bar that tows you up the hill.

Here is Gwangi, going down.

Indy, all decked out in winter gear...it's been a few years since all of this stuff was out of storage.

You can see the bar and tow rope that are pulling Indy up the hill.

The girls, coming down.  Sissi has her arms spread wide...she loved it!

Lara, at the top of the hill, getting ready to be released.

Sissi, waiting for her release.

When you get to the top of the hill, the bar releases you and you slide down an embankment.  You have to roll out of your tube, pick it up, and pull it to the top of the hill to slide down.

Here is Ruth, right at the top.

Being released and coming around the corner.

Sliding on the embankment to the top of the hill.

Maria...the ability to do that shocked look obviously runs in your family :)!

Miss Penny, being pulled by her mommy.

You could connect up to 4 tubes together to go down the hill.  Super fun to spin each other coming down!

Here is the group, getting ready for a run.

Had to do silly faces!

...and then silly poses, period!  My Krypto.

Ok, we're ready to go down now, get in and cousin Ruth will pull you to the top.

Oh yeah, she's cool!

I was in my tube, being pulled up the hill and looking down the hill, when I took this picture.  Absolutely loved this day, so much fun!
