Just back from an amazing week in Gap with Nanny Smith and Grandpops.  We felt we couldn’t leave Ellis behind so she cam everywhere with us!

We bought the ski attachment for the buggy and she came cross country skiing with us, she either slept, shouted at me to go faster, or watched Peppa pig on the ipad what was conveniently  in there with her.

A couple of days the grandparents were great baby sitters and Lara and I went off skiing together.  It is always special when we get out together now as it doesn’t happen as much as it used to for an obvious small blond reason!

An afternoon at Reallon after it snowed the day before delivered the goods and we had another great powder day there.  I love these little Frenchie resorts that don’t get tracked out in a few hours like the bigger resorts, this pic below was from the last run of the day……

We introduced Ellis to French sledging, (ie much bigger slopes and not as cold)  She loved it and me, Dad and Lara dragged her up the hill over and over and over again, each time at the bottom giggling then turning around and shouting “AGAIN – TOP” whilst pointing at one of us to drag her back up.

Even managed to grab a powder afternoon with my dad which was brilliant,  one thing skiing soft stuff with wife, but with wife and Dad it was great.  Dad proved he still has it.  Again this was a little french resort 20 minutes from the house.  3 lifts and only about 20 people on the whole mountains, so all freshies!

A great week with family and some superb skiing   Another 6 weeks and we will be back for the summer….. can’t wait!  Rest of the pictures can be seen by CLICKING HERE – or the ‘Photo Gallery’ link top right on this page
