Tubing

Francesca's : POV
Momma and l were out tubing together
I couldn't get over how many people were out here. We went to go get our gear inside the ski lounge, l wished mommy would have came along with us but she was exhausted from driving. My baby sisters stayed back with my grandparents, l waited for mama as she stood in line. We're staying in Montana for a whole week, my parents always made sure we had plenty of things to keep us occupied. They are always there for us in case we need help, Hope and Grace keep them on their toes due to the fact they are identical twins. I get along with them pretty well, l like being the oldest. I get to show them different things
Mommy's preparing them for preschool in the fall, they love us all the same which l'm grateful for. Momma comes back carrying two colored tubes, we walked out the door and headed up the hill. Mama hands me my tube, l get situated before taking off
Stef went over the directions the ski instructor told her and she relayed the information to Francessa. Frankie understood everything her momma went over, once they were ready to go down
Francesca put on her gloves. Mama last one down is a rotten egg Frankie States, your on baby girl. Stef said as they took off down the steep hill, Francessa heard her momma shout at the top of her lungs. The ten year old was having a blast, she couldn't believe Francessa beat her mama in the race. Stef reached the bottom, Frankie stood waiting on her. Momma that was so much fun, you should have seen the look on your face Francesca chuckles, your never gonna live that down kiddo just don't tell your mom about this cause she'll make fun of me Stef says to her daughter. Momma your secret is safe with me Francessa replies, she goes back up the hill again and slides forward on her stomach this time. Stef watched Frankie come down, the blonde had plans on taking Lena skiing tomorrow. She knew her wife was tired from driving all night,
Stef was going to take Grace and Hope ice skating later this afternoon, they knew how to skate a little bit. Lena signed Grace up for gymnastics and hope ballet, she went out and brought them each outfits to wear
Francesca has been playing soccer ever since she was seven. She's won trophies and awards, Lena and l always made a point to be at every game she had. New horizon will be open soon, then Lena will be going back to work full time soon. Momma can we go get some hot chocolate
From the cafe Francessa asks me. Come on babe l think we both had tubing for the day
Stef Frankie made their way towards the ski Lodge to return the tubes.
