We got a Gift Certificate for Christmas to Snow trails Ski Resort , it's about an hour north of Columbus and it has skiing & Snow tubing so we decided we'd give it a try on Valentines Day.
It was a day that reeked of what true love is all about!
Patience: We had to wait 2 hours just to get tickets to go tubing. so while we waited we got into a huge fight..... snowball fight that is..... and we tried to fight fair! 
Trust: The place had a little conveyor belt that pulled us & our tubes up the side of the hill and it was a little scary! I was hanging onto Leah for dear life and kept looking back and Theo & Ethan wishing he'd hang onto him a little tighter and then looking in front of me watch Alex and praying that he wouldn't try any dare-devil stunts
Nausea: Faith in the people that ran the place that they KNEW what they were doing and none of us would end up broken & bruised. So we climbed in the tubes, gave each other a couple of nervous smiles and pushed off..
Exhilaration. The look their faces were priceless..... scared and exhilarated all at the same time IT was SO FUN!!! 
Repetition, Do it again, Do it AGAIN!!!
And of course the ever present, often repeating need to have Patience.
It's too cold.... My feet are freezing.... I'm hungry.... I have to pee
Ethan was definitely the trooper of the bunch and has earned the title of "THE SNOW - MANS" he never complained and just had the best time! We grabbed a bite to eat and then he passed out before we were even out of the parking lot!
I think we are going to have to make this a new family tradition!!!
