Mostly skiing

The main event this week has been getting Olivia and Charlie on skis. We went to a place called Hidden Valley in the Cypress hills which is about an hour and half drive from here and is only about 80k from the US border.

The great thing with Ben now is that we can just get him a ski lift pass and he's off for the day; we don't see him again until he's hungry! (It's funny how Ben has gone from a child who ate hardly anything to one who is always planning his next meal!)

Olivia was first up for a skiing lesson and she did really well, dear of her! She got the hang of it pretty quickly and had a fair few goes down the bunny slope. Like her Mamma though, she is just as happy doing Snow Angels at the bottom of the hill!



Next up was Charlie who just couldn't wait to get his skis on and get going! At just 3 years old he did amazingly well and loved every minute. Everytime he got to the bottom of the slope he shuffled himself back over to the hand lift telling the instructor "5 more goes"! There is definately something daredevil about those Tingey boys!




And finally... Ben who I spotted from the comfort of the ski lodge bar....
