Thredbo, You Rock !

i can't believe it's been over a month since i have blogged.

that went way too fast.

FINALLY we have to internet in our new pad,

and there is sooo much i have to catch up on.

and the first item of business would be;

 "WE WENT TO THE SNOW" ! - it was ridiculously amazing.

we were completely snow rookies and we will def be going back next year.

we started travelling down on the wednesday and we stopped at Canberra for a couple of hours.

we took the boys to The Dinosaur Museum.

braxton, our dino mad boy LOVED it,

we kept loosing zayden every time we would walk near a robot dinosaur.

he would be running full pelt in the opposite direction.

say still isn't over his fear of statues yet.

we then took them to the war memorial.

makai thought this was pretty neat because he was learning about the anzacs in school this year.

we reached jindabyne by late afternoon.

we stayed in a little cabin in a place called Crackenback (my favourite),

 which was half way between Jindabyne and Thredbo.

the accommodation was perfect for us.

it was set in a national park type location there was rabbits, kangaroos and emus' running through every morning and plenty of space for the kids to run around and burn off some energy.

this is where we realised our children think that the zoo is the animals home.

we saw a kangaroo to which makai said "Mum, the kangaroo has escaped from his home", I replied "This is his home",

"No mum, kangaroo's live at the zoo"

we spent the next two days at thredbo.

we did countless amounts of toboggan rides, joovy showed the boys his snowboarding skills with the toboggan, we took each other out and other people out on our rides down the hill.

we roasted marshmellows, we had snowball fights (braxton instigated these ALL the time), we attempted to build a snowman - our boys didn't have the attention span for it and zayden kept licking it, we saw how many people we could fit on the toboggan at once and zayden got his first solo ride right at the end - i'll never forget his face !

the second day we were there we woke up to snow on the ground and the grass and bushes all iced over, it was beautiful.

the snow never appealed to me before because i'm a summer girl.

but you do not get cold there AT ALL, we were sweating and piling off our layers.

next year our boys have requested that we ski and that's exactly what we will be doing.

we loved it so much that this will be an annual holiday in our little family.
