Another Crash and The Snow

The Crash....

On Friday, while trying to get organised to go to the Snow on Saturday... we got hit in the back end by another car. Rather a shock to the system as it is the first accident I have ever had ... thankfully no one was hurt at all. The other car is alot worse off than the escape. I don't think there is much wrong with the escape apart from the exhaust will need replacing and the back bumper. The other car has a nice round hole in the bumper where the exhaust went through it and it's bonnet on the passenger side was quite crumpled. Everything is in the process to have it fixed and we have fingers crossed that we might have it back by Friday. The crash repair is ready to go as soon as the insurance company gets onto them, which should be 24 - 48 hours.

The Snow...

We headed off to the snow on Saturday morning nice and early. It turned out to be a nice smooth trip as Sian slept through the hills on the way there and back. The kids loved the snow... Brad's first glimpse of snow was pure delight. He was so excited and watched with eagle eyes for every bit of snow he could see on the way. When we got to the car park he was bursting at the seams!! Sian was a little more overwhelmed by it all. But once she was out in it she was loving it just as much as he was..... Brad being the little dare devil he is was on the toboggan and down the slope before we really knew what was happening LOL. Later on he went over to the slope that had some bumps and was a little faster and he was having so much fun. Sian went down with Gareth, but not really keen on going down on her own. The snowman didn't really happen as the snow was a little too compacted. We tried a couple times but didn't have a lot of success.

We headed back down the hill just after 11 and were very thankful we had arrived so early ... the top car park, was full as were the roads on both sides, the next car park was full and they were starting to fill the 3rd... the line up at the gate was huge as well!
Into Marysville and stopped for some lunch and for the kids to have a play in the playground before heading back to the warmth of home :o) We are thinking that we will go for a weekend with the kids next year and go to Mt Buller and with any luck be there when it is snowing.











This morning Sian was into the Doctor for her 4yo immunisation. I was dreading it as they know what is going on alot more at 4. But I am so proud of my little lady... she didn't even flinch! Watched the doctor put the needle in while madly wriggling her fingers and no tears, just chatting away... but she proceeded to tell me later that she had fun wriggling her fingers... "BUT the dot'ter had bad breff mummy!" I had to have a giggle at that!
