Tubing


Our girls loved to go tubing on the Snake River when the weather was fine.  Now their children say "Grandpa, take us tubing!"

(Warning! That video I took while riding in the boat might make you sick!)

We tube with the grandkids, too. They are water rats. Love being wet and diving off the pontoon boat.

lol .. that's a little bit different then the tubing i had envisioned seeing when i first read your blog title.

i recently went tubing with a bunch of church youth.
we had truck inner tubes and floated down a river with hiney's hanging in the water. but then there's no way to put anything beyond inner tubes or kayaks on the section of the New River we were on.

but this looks like a ton of fun. what a speed rush!

Oh that looks like a real blast!! And a cooling one too!

I think I would have enjoyed any seat... in the tube, on the boat, or even on the river bank watching.

In Arizona we used to tube down the river, but that was floating in inner tubes with a cooler full of beer and snacks tied on behind, no motorboats involved. Much calmer.

I was looking everywhere for Mac Sennit or Charlie Chaplin when I heard the music on the video.

My nose finally led me under the sink to a forgotten mouse trap. Sure enough, there was a little furry creature ripening under the hot water pipe. Gag me. The snare and its little feast of long dried up peanut butter had been prepared several month previous; set by WR in response to my reminders (nagging) that we needed to be prepared for the winter mouse invasion. I'd left the primed trap alone, acknowledging each time I noticed it with careful avoidance. After our catch, we were once again aware that the field mice had found shelter under the house. And, that at least one had squeezed through the small opening around the kitchen pipes into the warm cabinet under the sink. WR set another trap with fresh peanut butter. Now I am paranoid.
