We decided to take the boys tubing for father's day. Paul and I hadn't been since the mid 90s, so we were pretty excited for a relaxing day on the Pigg River. We were alarmed to discover that morning that our kids didn't even know what tubing was! We had to explain to them about the intertubes they would float on and the river.
The water was a little chilly initially, but it was a warm day so it felt refreshing. We had a short hike to the spot where we put in.
All smiles and ready to go! The water was flowing gently. There were one or two spots you had to walk a few steps, but overall it was perfect. We saw frogs, a turtle, and three snakes.
It took about 90 minutes total to float the whole stretch. Here we are at the end.
It was a really fun experience, and the boys are all begging to return. Turns out they are big fans of tubing!
