S is for Snow!

Time for the photo diary of our day at Mount Perisher last Saturday.  Okay, I might have taken more than one picture an hour…  Instagram is so much fun and I seriously had to resist overloading this post with a billion photos of Theodore!  But just as much fun as taking photos ~ snowboarding again for the first time since last year.  Wow.  It was great…..  But let me get on with the pictures before I bore you all to death with recounts of my runs!

 

6:00am ~ We get up before the sun and say hello to Mr. Moon.  Early mornings are not my thing, but I do appreciate a beautiful sunrise. 

 

7:00am ~ Artistic photos while Husband and his brother do the boring stuff like load the car with an insane amount of gear!   We almost didn’t fit in the dog; but once I put my nifty packing skills into play we were able to drop her off at my parent’s place so they could dog sit.

 

8:00am ~ *sings* “On the road again; it’s good to be on the road again…”

 

9:00am  ~ Fellow adventurers to the snow; we were just in more of a hurry to see…. The snow!  I know you can hardly see it in the picture, but I promise that it is there. 

 

10:00am  ~  Hiring snow boards and feeding the baby at base camp {i.e. Jindabyne}.  Theodore with his fuzzy babyhawk is all “Whooo!  Rock on!!”

 

11:00am  ~  Up the mountain; I only wish we could stay at that motel!  Husband graciously lets me ride first whilst he keeps an eye on Theodore, so here I am on the Triple chair lift at Smiggens.

 

12:00pm  ~  Maybe one of these days I’ll try to take a shot while I am moving on my board, but for the moment here’s a snap that I took while “resting”….  Okay, so I fell on my butt a few times.  Hello!  Just had a baby!   So Feather {my snowboard} and I take a well earned break.

 

1:00pm  ~  Theodore’s Talkies:  “Zzzzzz”  Translation:  Happy Mommy!! : D  I look after the bubba, then Husband and I go for a ride.  Look!  He’s on top of the world!  Waiting for me again… 

 

2:00pm to 5:00pm  ~  Things get a little hectic at the end of the day; I pack up baby after finishing some runs with Husband and drive to my friends house.  We warm up in front of the fire while I feed and change Theodore{again}, while also fitting in a month or so of catch up chat into one hour.  Then I leave pick up Husband and his brother but end up running late.  Whoops! 

   

6:00pm  ~  We say goodbye to daylight, and to the snow, and by this stage I am too tired to be bothered taking any more pictures….   Really our day didn’t end until 10:30ish, but like I said, no more snaps! 

I may have been knackered at the end of the day, but it was sooo worth it.  I had a blast and as always, cannot wait to go again!

Baby I’m back!

Hi everyone!  Well, after a long and crazy week at the snow, DH and I finally made it home being only a tad bit worse for the wear.   O__o

We both had a lot of fun, and with the combined owies of a sore neck and hand sized black bruise we managed to survive relatively well.  {His is the sore neck from an epic stack off a drop jump.  He rolled three times and lost his goggles and beanie.   And mine is the bruise in an unmentionable place from hitting a gum tree.  Yes, it hurts to sit down….}

Would you like to see pictures?  I have a million photographs that I took, but I shall restrain myself and only put up a few.  >__<

  

 

   

     

In other notes, I have put the Circle of Confessions page up and I am writing the clip tutorial to post tomorrow.  So late I know, but things are rather busy around here….  >x<

I am also joining a new site called Giveaway Scout which allows readers to search for giveaways on the one site.  Their little website blurb describes their service like so: 

“Giveaway Scout is a giveaway search engine. Our users subscribe to receive updates on the latest giveaways on the web. Add your blog and your giveaways will be exposed to our large network or users.”

Sounds neat to me, so I am signing up.  If you are interested in adding your blog, have a look here: http://www.giveawayscout.com/addblog

Snow falls…

                       

~ * All images supplied by Google “Snow” Image search * ~

Well, when the snow falls it is a tradition in our family that DH and I run away to Mt. Perisher for some sweet boarding.

The snow has been falling a LOT.   And consequentially we will be away for the next week.  Further more as I am completely inundated with things to do today before we leave tomorrow, I am afraid I do not have time for more than this quick post.

However, that tutorial I promised will be up as soon as I get back ~ so hopefully you can hold out for that.  I hope that  everyone has an excellent week and I will catch up with posting upon my return.

I also had a really cool idea when I was waiting in line at one of the t-bars at Blue Cow.   I want to knit myself an animal hat and hang an amigurumi off it instead of a pompom.  The only thing is that I have to wait a bit to try this as I do not have the right sort of wool to felt.  *sad face*  Oh well.   Maybe I will do a takochu hat something like this ~
