Our winter holiday - Ohakune

We're all going to the snowy with Zoe, the snowy with Zoe, the snowy with Zoe, we're all going to the snowy with Zoe and we're going to see the big carrot... That's what Jack sang on the way down to Ohakune last week! Thankfully, he fell asleep for part of the trip down (bizarrely, for an almost 3 yr old, at 9.30am!!)



We had a great week away in Taupo and Ohakune. Lucy was happy just to sit in the snow but I had great action fun with Daddy - whizzing down the slopes on a plastic bag (video to be posted soon), skiing (in Daddy's arms) and going up the slopes on the magic carpet, the pommer and the chair lift - and looking at the "little little people" below.






One morning we went to the army museum - our favourite part was the helicopter ride!




That afternoon, I got all geared up to hit the slopes with Daddy while Lucy stripped down and enjoyed playing in our holiday house which was cosy warm thanks to the very efficient fireplace.
