it’s kezia’s birthday on friday. she asked that her present this year be a trip to the local indoor snow centre where we could have skiing lessons and a day on the snow
so jane dug out our warmest british winter coats, hats and gloves and i took the day off work, and off we went
our ‘teacher’ was a chap called Taylor who taught us about two things then declared it was now just down to practice. which was fine. so we spent about 5 hours pootling about on the snow lifts and slopes
the girls had a quick sledge, but quickly went back to their skis
by the end jane and i were exhausted so we sat in the cafe and watched esther and kezia through the window
it was funny feeling so chilly after being warm for so long. it was minus 4C most and doesn’t have any windows.
and most importantly kezia declared it one of her best birthday presents ever, so hoorah for that.
they’re back to school tomorrow which i think they are secretly looking forward to ! this evening will be sorting school stuff out and early nights for all.
