Snow Holiday…or “School Excursion”

29 Aug

Since there are a couple more days left of winter, I thought I’d do one last winter-related post.

We just returned from a holiday to the snow, here are a few highlights:

The drive down was so pretty, I wish I could have stopped more to take photos.

We did see a wombat (alive) crossing the road one day, we also saw quite a few kangaroos…but no wild horses!

The kids were so excited to finally get to the snow they didn’t even wait to get their gloves on before throwing snowballs…ouch!

We did some tobogganing on our first afternoon, which was just as well because after that day the snow was slowly disappearing from the toboggan park.

What is a trip to the snow without a hot chocolate?

We had two fun days of skiing, with no major injuries. Everyone had a great time and we were looking forward to our final day of skiing but when we got to the mountain on the final day this is what greeted us:

Rain! It just got heavier and heavier, so we packed up and headed home.

Even though we didn’t get to ski all three days, we still had a great time and we are already looking forward to next year’s snow adventure!

      It was nice, although I have to say I am looking forward to the warmer weather.

      haha…that’s funny! Now you know what it’s like when I see people “pinning” all sorts of summery clothes, drinks, etc and I’m here shivering from the cold!
      Gotta love a hot chocolate…
