Lovewells vs The World
Today we went skiing! The mountain is only half an hour from Laura and Jan's house,but the drive was exciting because the road was really rutty and rocky and the car was weaving its back end about. Mum was scared we were going to fall off the edge! It was so bumpy it was hard to sing "Lving on a Prayer"!
Daniel decided Skiing was the best fun, and going on the chair lift was amazing. He did his first proper ski run. He also did some jumps, and found skiing on one ski was great too! He took himself up the long carpet and skied down without any grow up helpers.
Even Dad joined in and after a few falls he was away, even doing fancy stops like proper skiers! Mum can't ski because of her busted leg, so we left in in charge of gear and photos.
Gemma found her ski legs quickly and was eager to get on the chairlift for some proper ski runs, even though you could hardly see because it was snowing. She headed up with Laura and only fell once on the first attempt. By the end of the day she was skiing fast and loving it. She kept skiing until her legs were about to fall off.
We finished off with a snowball fight which was great fun as Daniel annd Mum had built a snow wall to hide behind. We were all hungry after Laura's delicious curried egg sandwich lunch had worn off. Luckily Mr Whippy was waiting at the bottom of the mountain to fill our bellies!
When we got back we were all a bit weary and had some quiet time. Then the kids cooked dinner and it was delicious, cottage pie and salad with apple crumble for dessert. We all devoured it, then fell into our beds, exhausted. What a great day!

Laura and Jan Solbak Well darling Lovewell Team, we so enjoyed having you stay with us and we had such fun up at Cardrona skiing our way around, didn't we, Gemma and Daniel? Love the photo in front of the Snowman, brings back such lovely memories!! Shame about the weather but fun to experience the snow wasn't it! Too kind about the curried egg sandwiches, Gemma and Daniel's evening meal was so much nicer!!
