** Yorkshire Dales Family Vacation - 2016 **
Family sled races and ski fun in the snow !
Of course, Ruby and Emma were dying to go out and play in it. Plus their father was equally keen now that I think about it ... Hmmmm ? But anyway, after a few squabbles between the girls about how to enjoy this unanticipated snow-day (Ruby wanted to build a snowman like Anna in Frozen, whereas Emma wanted a snowball fight), in the end it was Rocky who settled the debate, by suggesting that we should take this opportunity to have a little friendly family competition of sled racing !
Oooh-errrr, hey !
Naturally the girls thought it sounded like great fun, and all thoughts of snowmen and snowballs went straight out the window from there ... Phew !! Although, seeing as we only had two sleds, Emma decided she was too big to share ... Deary me, kids, hey. So the cheeky monkey opted to race us on her own using the ski's we found stowed away with the other winter gear ... I was admittedly a tad worried about the idea to begin with, however Munchkin number 2 seemingly took to skiiing like a duck to water, and once she was in the ski's and on the slope there was NO stopping my little Emmy either. Bless her.
As you can no doubt see here though, our keen little sport's-woman has certainly inherited not only her fathers fearless spirit, but his fierce competitive streak an'all ... I was certainly somewhat startled when I noticed my little girl whizzing past us on her way down the slope. Cutting in front of our sled's to secure her most desired victory, might I add ... Honestly !!
Emmy was chuffed to bit's, and Rocky was incredibly proud as well, so I decided to save the lecture about recklessness until ANOTHER time instead (insert despairing eye-roll here), hehehe.
After a few hours of fun though, we were absolutely frozen and soaked through. So we returned to the cottage with big smiles all round, despite the fact we were so numb that we could no longer feel our faces !
It was a wonderful last day of our vacation, and we spent the evening drying off and warming up in front of a lovely open fire, before finally packing up to return home again.
What a perfect family holiday we had in the Yorkshire Dales 2016 !
