We had considered trying dog sledding at Colorado, but by the time we decided to give it a try, both places Dora knew about were all booked up.  So we settled on tubing instead.  We waited until the best weather day, Friday, to drive to the Adventure Park at Frisco.  The drive was beautiful and it got icy on the freeway after we went through a long tunnel.  It was a bit nervous for Stuart driving Gloria’s car on ice, but he managed to follow Dora well and get us there safely and timely.  After passing through the beautiful town of Frisco, we arrived at the Adventure Park.  All of us were excited to get out the car and bundle up to touch the snow.  We got tickets and quickly climbed up the moving walkway to the top for tubing.  Logan was a bit hesitant, but with Stuart as his company, he just followed the lead.  Connor was with me side by side, and he enjoyed the first round and wanted to go again.  Both Logan and Connor did the second run and enjoyed it too, but neither of them wanted to try anything different, like four tubes together or being spun.  So all six of us continued our pairings and coming down the hill again.  The weather was so nice that we were getting quite warm, and it felt great with the little breeze up on the hill.  The wait to come down was getting a bit longer, and we could only make one final, 4th, round.  The boys opted out and wanted Gloria to pull them around at the base instead.  So it was just Dora, Stuart and I on this last one, and we had the staff give us a big spin.  The spin added some momentum and more thrill; we all came down screaming and my hat flew off halfway down, never to be recovered again.  This was indeed a fun hour of tubing.

   Next we had a yummy lunch at the ski lodge.  The lodge was pretty and it was not too crowded.  Afterward both Dora and Gloria were tired and wanted to take a break, so the rest of us went to play with snow just outside.  The boys, Stuart and I played with snowball fight for quite a long time, and enjoyed getting to use powdery snow.  In between, we also built some snowman.  At the end, Logan and Connor built four snowmen and claimed that they were the four of us.  They made a snow angel at last which wrapped up our short trip to see the snow country.  The drive back home was smooth and uneventful.

    We relaxed a bit at the hotel and packed up, then we went out to have the last dinner with Gloria and Dora.  It was a wonderful, short and sweet trip to Colorado, and great seeing the girls.  The next morning Gloria gave us a ride to the airport for our early flight.
