snowmobiling.....

February 6 we went snowmobiling with my dad and his group of friend.
Jon and Kay'es doubled up. Lex floated between a lot of us.
Here's Jon and Kays.
Makaylee driving Richie's snowmobile.
Lex driving grandpa's sled.
We had lunch at the ice caves.
 
Then we were off. Jon and Makaylee were riding together (Makaylee in front). We needed to make a side hillish turn to get back on the trail so Jon told kays to lean, when she leaned she almost fell off and grabbed the throddle and this is where they ended up:
Jon and Makaylee were behind me. I heard them hit the tree and turned around to see the snow falling on them. I turned off my sled and ran down to them. Makaylee was asking Jon if he was ok and Jon was not answering. He was just sitting there moaning and moaning...he had passed out. He FINALLY came to (it felt like forever, and the whole time I'm thinking how are we going to get life flight in here...it was AWFUL).
We made sure he wasn't bleeding. He was super pale and in a ton of pain.
The damaged sled. 
The whole ski came off.....they had totalled the sled. Luckily it still ran, ssssoooo
my brother and a few of the guys took turns riding it out on the left ski.
Sunday we ended taking Jon up to insta care because he was in so much pain, we figured he had broken his tail bone and/but he needed some pain medication to help ease the pain. Sure enough he had broke his tailbone, 6 to 8 weeks to heal........it's been a long two weeks!!!!

tubing.....

January 23....a Saturday, we thought we'd take the girls out tubing to Max's hill in Hyrum. The weather was nice and we had a fun time. Lex and Kay's both brought a friend along.


Yes, even I particiapted!!!


Then Jon thought he'd try a master move head first on the tube of death......
Yes, the snow won. He went off the jump, stayed straight up in the air (I thought he broke his neck) with his feet in the air then got up and this nice snow rash is what he had (for weeks to come!!!)

Richie and Jon assessing the jump....where did he go wrong?....aaahhh he leaned too far forward is Jon's answer!!!
Then it was off to grandma and grandpa's for scones and the hot tub!!!
