This weekend we went x-c skiing both Saturday and Sunday at the soccer field near the swimming beach at Ulvenvannet. This place is where most small kids come to learn how to ski because it is mostly flat and machine-groomed so that the ski tracks are in good condition.
Rhiannon is already quite good! She just goes for it, and when she falls down she gets back up without help! Tryfan struggled to keep his feet/ skis going in a straight line, but with big bags of sweets in my jacket pocket as incentive, he held my hand and kept trying.
Here he is with some chocolate in his mouth on Sunday. He had more success on this day after I convinced him to pretend he was a train and he should stay on the traintracks. We were careful not to spend too much time skiing though - both days we quit while everyone was still in good spirits!
