2nd Day Skiing

Today I got right back on the horse and went straight up to the top on the chairlift first thing. I was able to even spot our chalet. Here's a fuzzy zoomed photo:

I had 4 great runs, and by the 4th run I got brave enough to go onto a blue trail.  A friend gave me some pointers about how to make turns which really helped.   It was thrilling to go fast.  The girls were both smiling at the end of their lessons - Léna even won a prize (cola-flavoured candy!) for being the last kid standing on this merry-go-round thing they use to teach kids to hold on.  She was pretty excited.

Meanwhile, grandparents are great.  They crawl around pretending to be a wolf.  They make you homemade fries cook in duck grease.

They feed you when you arrive back at the chalet after being gone for 2 days for work (Thomas).

And they read to you when you're in your PJ's.  Life in ski heaven is good.  Tomorrow:  Day 3 = skiing with my husband.  Watch out.
