Our Favorite Past Time: Tubing








We love tubing on the Yellow Breeches. Each summer we load up our tubes, pack a lunch and launch ourselves down the creek. Our large stash of tubes comes from Uncle John's generous donation of tractor tire inner tubes each year. He is a partner in a huge dairy farm in up-state NY. The tractors are ginormous. So after a little patching (only on a few) we blow them up so they are ready when we feel the stream calling. This year he blessed us with 3 extra large (like you could fit an entire family in it tube) and 6 smaller ones that aren't really that small. :)

So if you ever look out on the local streams in Pennsylvania and see a family floating along in huge tractor tires having a blast it might just be us!! Now we are ready for summer!
