More sledging!

The boys were really miffed that I didn't post them on their slope outside school, I did mean to but it takes forever to download even the shortest clip and I got bored of waiting.  We're having a morning off this morning though so I've got a bit of time.  The children broke up for Spring Break last Thursday and skied all day Friday, we went to Kelowna on Saturday to an amazing aqua park, called H2O with slides, diving boards, a hot tub, a wave pool, rapids and a surfing pool.  When we got there we found out there was height restrictions on certain things and the children had to be 107m to go on the water slides...no amount of stretching could make Lucy that tall so we had to explain to her why she couldn't go down the slides, as you can imagine she wasn't best pleased!  Ned was the only one tall enough to try out the surfing and loved it, even if it was quite tricky to get the hang of, but his hair's got so long since we got here, at least he looks the surfer dude part, even if he hasn't mastered the surfer bit!
Sunday was Cruz the Blues which we all did together for the first time and so headed over to the far corner of the resort to test Lucy on the very hardest blues, needless to say she skied them fantastically, with only one hitch when Charlie spotted a different route and Lucy followed, out from the bottom of the trees came Charlie going full pelt with no Lucy...she'd got stuck on the top of a 6 foot ledge and he'd just left her!!!!
Here's the sledging....

  1. Great sledging from you all! I can see why the helmets are needed! You will need a suitcase just for the cruz the blues T-shirts!! Victoria was very impressed that Ned had been surfing!
