The four of us. For those of you that didn't know, we left Kaleb with my mum and dad.
Ethan and Mitchell in ski school, helping each other stay on their skis - they really became good friends.
Here they are going up the T bar together.
Love my new beanie :)
Kerry, Katie, Woodo and Alistair
Good friends with good cocktails :)
We took Ethan and Mitchell (Katie and Anthony's son) to Tube Town one afternoon. It was so much fun. Here we are going up.
Here we are going down.
Such an achievement - I skiied over to Blue Cow - and back
Copperhead Road track on the way back from Blue Cow - quite a tricky run, I had two falls.
Here is Ethan skiing by himself on the 4th day
Here I am with my ski gear on - felt like an eskimo some days - no wonder I live in Qld LOL
Harrison lost his front tooth while we were away. His skiing was fantastic, the explorers kids club took them all over the mountain - he has seen much more than I have.
Here's Ethie in the snow - too cute!
The cocktail brothers - too funny - they were drinking Nutty Irishmen, Toblerones and Cowgirls - hmmmm bit strange huh :)

Ski Trip July 2008






Our trip started on Saturday the 12th July. We flew to Canberra and met up with Katie and Anthony from Adelaide. We picked up our hire cars for the week and headed into Questacon. That night our family stayed with my friend (and bridesmaid many moons ago) Michelle (pictured). It was so nice to catch up - we even got to go out to the movies while Ali stayed home and minded the 5 kids.
Here is Harrison and Ethan at Bullocks Flat waiting for us to unload our luggage and get on the ski tube to Perisher. There was a lot of snow around so it was looking to be good coverage up the hill.
We stayed at the Eiger Chalet for 5 nights - breakfast and dinner provided yum!! Here is a pic of Katie and I when we arrived.
Ethan was booked into Junior Ski School for the 5 days from 8.30am til 12.45pm - lunch included. On the first day he had trouble skiing down from the magic carpet, but by day 4 he was skiing all by himself.
Kate and Woodo - cute couple!
