My dear friend from Dubai, Jenny Brown and her daughters Hollis and Crosby, spent a long weekend with us in the Port du Soleil ski area on the border of France and Switzerland. We had some good old fashioned fun!
Steve was 'super dad' taking care of six girls. He managed train rides with 4 kids to our ski town, boot fitting, ticket and ski instructor arrangements, ski rescues (Crosby headed off a cliff!), and a really fun "Mommy Free" night to boot. Jenny and I are still hearing about their evening without us. In fact, they wanted us to go out again the next night! Instead we all headed to the thermo baths for a good long soak under the star-studded night.
The kids took ski lessons each morning with two young and super fun instructors. They all improved dramatically over the four days-- as you can see from their shiny medals. While the kids took their lesson, the adults took some time to ski to France and back. We all enjoyed lunch on the hill each day, then spent the afternoons skiing together as a group. Snow was lacking, but by the last day we got a nice new layer so the kids got to try 'powder'. Our last day, was a drive back home with a sledding trip in the Jura mountains. We had to make good use of our new snow! The time went too fast, but hope that they'll be back next year for a ski week reunion!
