Today we are back in Bann and looking back at a great week in the Alps.  Austria was awesome and to top it off the abundant snow fall added a layer of additional fun.  With over two feet of fresh powder in a couple days we were finding plenty of pristine powder on the mountain.  CJ and I played with powder skis for two days as we floated between trees and down the sides of bumpy white covered terrain with hoots and giggles the whole way!  Gloria had a blast skiing like a big girl and earning a medal in her first ever down hill ski race;)  William also earned a medal for his ski school completion and they came home with a treasure trove of art projects and trinkets from their time at the Bobo Kinder- Club.  We are already dreaming of when we can go back to Zauchensee, Austria!

Wow, what an awesome few days! The snow has been falling for over 36 hours now and the accumlation is making for some fun powder on the mountain. Gloria participated in her first down hill ski race today and later I caught her in action on the mountain with her class.

William finished his week of lessons with Miss Alma and earned himself his first medal.

While lessons were taking place CJ and I had some big fun off piest with Jon, Mark and Jon’s two girls.

…such a fun day!

With a lack of sunshine and cold germs keeping us down here in Germany we decided to hit the sunshine in Porto this last weekend. We discovered lovely seafood, friendly people, awesome Port wines and plenty of fun things to explore!
