Well, this all starts off with Brian being volunteered against his will (only joking??!) to look after some school kids at a tubing event at Chicopee.
The Chicopee Ski center (notice how we spell centre!!) is around the corner from where we currently live...we could walk there if we wanted to....
After arriving, Brian decides to 'whimp out' and just stand and watch.....however, a persistent little girl called Kira (the youngest child of our English friends here, Andy and Jacquie...) who was in attendance keeps going on and on about how she wants 'Uncle Brian' to go tubing with her...(she was the one who volunteered Brian in the first place!!)
Reluctantly, Brian goes up the slope....never to be seen again.....or is that the line from some cheesy film!!!
Anyway, the truth is that Brian loved it!!! So much so that he stayed up on the slope for over 1 1/2 hours, organizing the kids and pushing them down the slope, and he had a go himself....3 times in fact and lived to tell the tale!!!
Brian now is tubing mad, and can't wait to go again. So much for Brian being the shy and retiring type (yeah right)!!!
Elaine, however, stood back and watched as she had an important job to do....TAKE THE PICTURES!!!!....which are below (well...not all of them):
Elaine with Kira......
Brian with Kira......
Brian....with tube in hand (and yes...he did slide down the slope you see behind him!!!)
