Ski lessons booked…. Gulp!

Daddy has got two three hour ski lessons booked in starting this coming Sunday evening – GULP!

Decided to go for two three hour sessions and then a final single hour session to get the 5 stages of the required certification. An eight hour single day gig was too frightening a prospect apparently…. Meow…

Let’s see if he damages himself….

Later today, over to the Alhambra to watch Jack and the Beanstalk πŸ™‚ 

Time to come home

It is Sunday morning and we are presently sat waiting for the coach to take us back to Kittila airport for the journey home.

We had a lovely Christmas party last night and got a final meeting with Santa where he delivered the first gift of Christmas to both boys – a lovely Lapland reindeer.

We didn’t manage to go swimming this morning as per ur loose plan as we enjoyed a nice lie in instead πŸ™‚

The boys (specifically Olly) have rally missed little Hugo sop ar super excited to see him again – literally the hours cannot disappear quick enough…

It has been a wonderful few days despite the child rage and tears (mainly from the parents)

Husky and Reindeer Trails

We got up bright and breezy this morning for a 9am trip out to a Husky and Reindeer farm for trips out on each.

Our group went out on the Reindeer and sleigh trip first and wow – we actually got in a small sleigh that sat two or three, were connected up (so to speak) to ‘our Reindeer’ and then off we went. Mummy and Olly went first in the group and their reindeer sprinted off with them before slowing to a nice gentle trot around the course – possibly two kilometres or so. Daddy and Elly wer last to go with Joscar – he trotted around quite leisurely at the back but when we got to the end, Joscar decided that he wasn’t ready to come back so sprinted off to the right with the sleigh in tow πŸ˜€ hopefully daddy got decent video footage to shar πŸ™‚

The husky run was next and wow it w sure cool – all four of us behind 10 dogs (2 of which wer fighting with each other mid way around :-)) and we went out for maybe 3 or 4 km through the trees and then again out over the frozen lake. The lady who stood out back was telling us that the dogs and her fath were participating in a 1,000km race in March so all these day tours were good for their raining as they would be racing those 1,000km over 7 days!!!!

A little sledging, pancakes for lunch and then a little swim this afternoon befor getting ready for the Christmas party this evening πŸ™‚

Home tomorrow πŸ™‚
