Writer’s Workshop: Fun in the Snow
Doggie boy playing with the snow
This Year end holiday was the first winter vacation which the kids had. They had their first experience of snow at the snow fields in Kawazawa, Japan.
It was the first time that the kids tried out skiing too. The last time which R and I went skiing was during our University days. This time around I sat out with the girls while R went skiing with the boys.
The boys getting checked before the lesson
Being the first time on the snow R signed up the boys for a 2 hr lesson so that they could learn how to ski properly.
It was a really interesting experience for them as they learned how to move about on the snow.
The ski lift
Once they have mastered the basics it was time to put their newly acquired skills to the test. They went up to the top of the hill via the ski lift. From the top they made their way down under the instructor’s guidance. Both boys did well as they managed to make their way down from the top of the hill during the lesson.
Monkey boy back at the bottom of the hill
Monkey boy was more daring and was willing to ski alone without the instructor around after the lesson ended. Doggie boy on the other hand opted to stay and have a snowball fight with the other kids in the play area.
Do you like the snow?
Have you gone skiing this year?

We live in a place where it snows occasionally, but not enough for skiing, so we have never been. My hubby and I have talked about taking the kids a couple hours north of us for skiing at some point, but we’ve never made it yet. Looks like you all had a great time!

We get lots of snow every year and as a child I loved it. As an adult it has lost its luster to me. I do still think it is beautiful to look at, and I will always enjoy the faces of children playing in the snow.
The hubby, on the other hand, loves skiing so much. He has even done the heli-ski thing from a helicopter.

snow means cold weather and I don’t like cold weather! It was a good idea for the boys to have a bit of a lesson first – you can hurt yourself badly on skis. {:-Deb

I went skiing several times as a child and I wasn’t very good at it. Now it is out of the question for me because of my back condition. It looks like the kids enjoyed the snow.

It looks like so much fun. We are currently in the snow, but haven’t hit the slopes yet. Hope you are enjoying your week. Thanks for linking up 🙂

Snow makes for great fun–at least, until it gets into all your clothes! Lovely photos and I’m sure the kids had fun even when the got soaked!

I wish I knew how to ski! So cool that they got their own lesson!

That really looks like fun in the snow! We haven’t had much snow in Germany this season (not that I am missing it right now — snow means shoveling snow!). I haven’t been skiing for quite some time.
If you want to read about Disney’s Frozen, hop over to my blog. Frozen is my F this week. 🙂
Greetings from Germany,

I have very fond memories of snow-filled Christmases back in Ohio…
But I was never a fan of shoveling the snow…(((winkwink)))
I never learned how to ski… It looks like your family had a lot of fun frolicking around the ski slopes!
Fantastic post for the letter “F”!
Thanks for linking.
