A Glorious Day for...


...ICE SKATING IN THE PARK!

But of course, how very European! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the shops were closed so we enjoyed some family time in the park.

Sarah was very brave and managed to stay up very well holding on to mum's hand.






Look at me! I'm a pro.













Even Dad made it on to the ice. It was his very first time so he was a bit nervous.

Happy New Year Everyone!!



Where there is snow, mountains and sunshine, there must be some skiing to be had.


Here we are in the lovely ski resort of Megeve (France), where Mummy, Daddy, Sarah and I had a lovely week on this mountain. Sarah and I were in Club Piou Piou, the children's ski club, whilst mum and dad did some skiing.
We had a great time at the ski club, we learnt all about pizza and chips - and not the ones you eat either! And we also got a badge and a certificate at the end of it all!






On top of the mountains there are restaurants.
Here daddy is eating the heart-stopping tartiflette, a mixture of potatoes, ham and cheese and more cheese. Mum has a big plate of chicken wings and chips. Yum yum!

After our ski school, we all went on a ride on one of the carriages pulled by the gorgeous horses. They had bells on them so you can hear them as they went trotting by. They went quite fast so there was a warm blanket in the carriage to cover you up.






There was also plenty of time to do some other activities like going down the luge.







I think mum and dad went skiing whilst we were in the children's ski club.

Dad seems to be pretty happy about being on the mountain!
