Snow Tubing and Outing Cabin

Hey friends!

So I (AB) had a very busy weekend this past weekend and led not one, but two trips! They both had awesome groups and both were a lot of fun. I think I actually looked at JC at one point and said, "Can you believe we're getting paid for this?"

We went snow tubing at Wintergreen for the first time this past Friday which was a very different experience from skiing. After a few last minute time since we didn't realize our session started at 7 and not at 4 (oops!) we ended up leaving, and getting there by around 6:50. Once we got to there we pretty much just let everyone go, but since all our participants were seniors it ending up being like a huge bonding time. Snow tubing is like giant slides for adults!

Outing Cabin was also a lot of fun, though I didn't catch as many pictures. We hiked up there and stopped to show them the 300 year old tree, along with the hidden graveyard on the way back. Once we got up there a lot of people explored it while we were sweeping it out and then building the fire. It was pretty chilly that early in the morning so the warmth was definitely welcomed. We went over the packet and then made nomy hobo dinners for lunch! My favorite. It was definitely a very active and fun group, we even had a professor and a staff member and his family with us!

Here are a few pictures of both trips!

The slides that the tubes go down.. there were a few you caught air on!
Trekking back down from the outing cabin- there are still A LOT of leaves up there.

Last but not least me, JC, and Alexis posing for a picture before going down!

Have I mentioned I love my job?
