365 challenge #26: Big Event
This was actually our first family holiday. We do go away every now and then, but either it is a combined business trip, or we are house hunting or we are renovating our house, so this time, it was our first trip together of pure pleasure. And I must say, I am hooked!! It was absolutely wonderful doing nothing. I normally work online and wherever you go nowadays you can always go online, but this week we didn't. It was just family, snow, skiing, good meals and the tempered outdoor pool in the evenings.
The photo above is taken day 2 at C's attempt to learn to ski. He started off day 1 with a 1 1/2hour session in the slope with O. I didn't see him the first day, so I had almost a bit of a shock when I came to the slopes to check him out. He was skiing as if he was born with skiis on. And he absolutely loved it!
365 challenge #154: Humor
He was a bit exhausted by lunchtime, to say the least.. I thought he looked quite cute flopped on our lunch table.
365 challenge #234: Pink
My daughter's favorite colour above all...
365 challenge #340: My Own Theme: J skiing
J had 2 days of skiing. We had not planned for her to do any skiing, but she insisted, so O took her to the slopes. The first day she could hardly stand on her skiis, but the second day she started off skiing between O's legs to swiftly move on to skiing beside him, both of them holding a stick. Here she is resting at the bottom of the slope.
A little bonus shot, to give you an idea just of how tiny a 3.5year old really is in the slopes.
Here I am coming to the slopes, walking through the wood on a transportation slope from the parking lot, spotting O and J, they had just got off the lift.

Look like you had a wonderful vacation, Mia. I have never been skiing, never really seen snow. It looks like a lot of fun, expecially for your children. I love the picture of you son fast asleep with all of his equipment on.
What a fun vacation, and those kids of yours are way too cute! Looks like they are both quite the skiers!
These are all wonderful shots and make a great story. The kids look like they're having fun. You are brave to carry your camera while skiing-I fall to much - but I telemark and love to go fast. Just wait til the kids want to snowboard. It seems so out of control compared to skiing.
Good for the soul, wasn't it?
It is amazing how easily little kids pick up sports like this. Looks like you'll be taking ski holidays every year now...
These are all great shots - I especially like C zonked out on the table...
Underbara bilder där du lyckats få med flera teman! :)
Det ser ut som ni har haft en härlig semester!
Jag gillar verkligen bilden på den utslagne hjälten på bordet.
Jag skulle också vilja komma iväg någonstans :)
Ha en fortsatt fin dag!

Ler igen kännande.I den backen har vi lagt ner många timmar. Mina var 3-4 år när de lärde sig och ta sig ner.
Underbara foton, speciellt på den "utslagna".hoppas ni får möjlighet till fler rena familjen semestrar.Barnen kommer att minnas dom livet ut!
Ha det gott!
Mia, your snow series is beautiful. You've captured the cold and the fun and the snow ... just great!
Your vacation photos are wonderful, Mia! It looks like your family had a wonderful time - and you've got two born skiers there.
These are great shots! Thanks for taking us along on your vacation!!
It looks as if you had THE MOST WONDERFUL vacation! Your shots are amazing.I'm so glad you had a chance to just enjoy each other!
Hohooo, är ni fortfarande på böljan och gungar!? ;-) Jag var nyss inne och kollade på ett annat ställe, men det är ju här nya bilder finns! Vilket härligt väder ni hade och vilka duktiga barn. :)

Great photos. Those of your daughter are pretty darn cute and the boy all tuckered out is pretty funny. Nice.
Wonderful trip! We did a lot of water skiing when I was a kid. Those trips with my family are some of my fondest memories -I know your kids will remember this trip as well and they have these great photos!
Your little ones look like pro skiers! I love your daughter's pink. Great photos!
Looks like the perfect spot for your family vacation Mia...oh the memories you will cherish forever! Fabulous shots...esp love the one where he's flopped on the table---that is just too darn cute!
Fabulous series of photographs. Your children are so cute. My favorite is your son resting on the lunch table!!
Catching up all I can do is echo all of the above, especially how your kids seem to be born skiers. I dilike snow but what fun and sweet shots!
Önskar dig en riktigt skön påsk helg!
