Went tubing for the first time, in Indiana. You also can snow board and ski there.

The place is called "Perfect North Slopes". We had a blast, perfect weather too!

First I was shocked the slopes are really high up there, also thought my hubby would go to. No, he bought the tickets just for me and the little ones. (Healthwise he isn't able to do it).

So all the pressure was on me, the one who is scared of hights.
But I did it, couldn't let the children go by themselves. I can't tell you how much guts it took me to do it. Ha,ha!

No matter how many times I did it, my heart always raced. Didn't wanted to scream, didn't wanted to scare my little ones.

They didn't even noticed what went on with me, all they saw was the fun of it. "Mama, look! That's fun, let's do it again!"

Yes it was fun, but still my adrenalin was going. When my husband saw how much I was shaking after each time, he couldn't help it, but to laugh.

It was a good, plain fun day. Even though halfway scared to death, even though my husband wasn't able to do it.

It was a day, we all will happily remember!

You certainly are a LOVING MAMA. I know your fear. My son learned to fly when he was 16, just had to take Mom "up". My knuckles still get white when I fly and he's been a Pilot or years.

That's exactly it, I hung on to those tubes with an iron grip!
