Lovely Family Day Out!

Look at me!  Two posts in two days!  Must be the fact I have "followers"!

Anyhow, we had a great family day today.  This morning at 8:15 we set off for Lenggries to go skiing.  Well, when I say skiing, there was no skiing to be done by me or Alex, but Matt skiied with Katie who finally GOT IT!  She's been ok for a while but today something clicked and she got a surge of confidence and just zoomed!  It was a beautiful sunny day and warm too so the snow was just ok this morning for kinder skiing.  She did 3 times up the long T-bar with Matt and several times on the smaller carpet lift and drag lift.  I just wandered about with Alex on my back on tottering about avoiding skiiers.  It was such a nice morning and I was so pleased not have a whiney girl who says "I can't do it" when clearly she can.

It really isn't flat . . .

pizza!

We had such a lovely morning and we were home by 1:30pm.  It felt much later. But after some cBeebies and playing outside Katie wanted to go for a ride on her bike. Well she has been able to ride a pedal bike since November but hasn't been very confident on her purple bike until more recently when her feet have been able to touch the ground a bit more.  It's also quite tricky as we have hills everywhere to get to flat, but yesterday she did quite well coming back from kindergarten on a roundabout route and today she wheeled her bike down the hill and then disappeared along the flat bit while I walked with Alex pushing the dolls buggy.  When I eventually caught up with her she was so keen and so fast I was glad Matt came and met us on a bike so he could go with her.  Like her skiing she did really well and even started using the brakes more.  She must have been exhausted tonight!

So a lovely day was had by all. Forecast is rubbish for tomorrow and Matt is skiing with Magda.
