It has been a very busy week. I have had this draft post sitting here for almost the entire week, but I just didnt have time to write on it. So, I am finally taking some time to finish it.
When I woke up on saturday I noticed we didnt have any water in the house. Turns out a watermain broke, so we were out of water for the day. We therefore decided to go for breakfast with A's parents. It was really tasty. Afterwards A and I went shopping for snowpants and snowboots on saturday. We had a lot of fun driving across town. Our shopping sprea was long but succesful. We came home with new boots for less than I was planning to spend, new pants that were a bit more than I was planning to spend, and some waterproof gloves. We were all set for the next day's big event: snow tubing at Edelweiss. We met up with J and B at their place and were going to meet up with some of their friends at the hill. From their we went to the hill. I expected it to be super busy, but fortunately it wasnt bad. We drove up, found a spot to park relatively fast and were able to walk up to the ticket counter to buy our passes. We then went ahead to the tubing. There were about 8 tubing slopes there, but only 5 or 6 of them where open to the public. To slide down you had to go up with a skilift onto a hill that definelty was less high than most of the skihills there, but still high enough to give me butterflies in my stomach. The lift had an extra bar at the back where they put the tubes. The tubes were basically tractor tires. You could slide down the hill by yourself or in groups, so the first few times we went down the four of us. It helped me get over my fear a little bit. It was a lot of fun, and the tubes went pretty fast. The best part is when they spin you at the top so you go down the slope spinning around. fun times. After the tubing we had poutine at the cafeteria, and we decided to go for some drinks and pub food, and then Wii fit afterwards. We had a really good time.
