For the three week July break we took our first ever family ski trip and headed down to Wanaka. We flew to Christchurch and then drove to Wanaka through beautiful, snowy countryside.
 |
| In our lovely rental van. Pretty much the ugliest van ever. And nice pose Katie. Not. |
 |
| Moody weather. |
 |
| It got very cold in Tekapo. And of course we had to make a bathroom stop. Brrrr. |
 |
| We arrived at last and were thrilled the local Mexican restaurant was able to seat us straight away. |
 |
| Little did we know that would be Ellie's last night as a meat eater. So now I have two vegetarians. Ugh. |
 |
| Waiting on our margarita, beer and chips. |
 |
| Good morning Wanaka!!!! Kate and Ant let us stay in their beautiful home - such a treat. |
 |
| First stop - food of course! |
 |
| Then we headed down to the lake for a lovely stroll and some photos. |
 |
| Ellie didn't want to pose with us. |
 |
| Our sweet ride. |
 |
| Last photo before we were off to the ski shop to get ourselves sorted for our first day of skiing!! |
