Ski season
Nathalie was happy with the new skis she got for Christmas. We left this morning at 9 am to spend a few hours at Collet d'Allevard. Too bad I didn't have another arm to hold the camera.
A lot of snow has fallen recently, but last night was clear and cold. The result at Super Collet was lots of powdery snow and bright sunshine, but little snow on the roads leading up to the station. Nathalie and Tim skied the green slopes from 10-12, taking Emma with them for the last half hour. We ate lunch together after that, partly because the kids were hungry but mostly to warm up. After lunch Tim and Nathalie went for another 45 minutes, until Emma accidentally filled her boot with snow and I decided to flag her mom and brother down.
Diane and Emma went sledding for a while. I ended up nevertheless spending plenty of time holding Diane on my lap. Luckily Emma showed more independence. She couldn't convince her sister to get on the sled with her, but she did manage some fast runs down the slope by the children's ski school area.
Nathalie could take the bus at Allevard and spend the whole day skiing with Timothee. We're more than a year away from being able to do that with the girls.
