Snow

We woke up to about 10cm of snow this morning. The kids gobbled breakfast and headed outside to throw snow and make snow men. I joined Emma to work on a medium sized snow man then later, we all joined in to build one that was taller than me.


Clearly we are not at home... We are in Raetihi, near Mt Ruapehu, staying with 2 other families, friends of Zaks. We arrived here a couple of days back and yesterday we headed up to Turoa for a days skiing. The weather wasn't brilliant, it snowed all day but there wasn't much wind so apart from not being able to see what we were skiing over we still had a good day. The trip down the mountain at the end of the day was... interesting. We saw two cars slide into the side of the road in front of us but we managed to get down without incident.
We aren't sure what is going to happen for the next couple of days. Hopefully the weather will give us another break and we can get in another days skiing.

I forgot the doofer to connect the camera memory card to the iPad so pictures will come later.
