Snow Tubing

Need a fun, outdoor, socially distant activity for the kids? Who doesn’t? I highly recommend snow tubing. We made the 25 minute trek to Wolf Ridge tubing for an hour of good times. I had a blast riding my giant tube down the man made slide. My son wasn’t even embarrassed to hold my hand …

White Christmas

Twenty twenty has been a fairly crappy year in general. Holidays were spent without cherished loved ones. My grandfathers funeral was via zoom. Virtual school proved ineffective for us and we had to leave our beloved elementary school for a school that went in person. Even Ironman and major marathons cancelled their races and went …
