Snow Bunnies


Wow, we had a great holiday. After a big drive we finally arrived in Ohakune to a warm welcome from Opa Noel and Granny Rosie. We managed to get in a few magic days skiing for the grown-ups. Ali had a lesson and mastered the basics of making her skiis like a wedge of pizza to stop or make a turn, but she much preferred french fry skiis to go faster. Lily said she didn't like the snow on the first day so we didn't bother taking her up much. We did make time to see the giant carrot though.

The hot pools at Tokaanu were a nice break on the days we weren't up the hill. We went and saw Jose and Darryl at Turangi. Jose took us to feed the miniature horses on her quad bike (the highlight of Lily's trip) and to throw rocks and pumice in the river.
