Do I look smart ?

Brrrrrr….this is freezing cold…and I am so wrapped up that I could hardly walk!

Here is Mal all wrapped up and dressed up for the snow. Today is the 2nd day of our stay here, Daddy will be skiing and Mummy will keep Mal company. When we got to the Buttermilk Ski Area, Daddy had already skied for quite a while and when Daddy first walked to us, Mal took a while to recognise him as Daddy was all wrapped up too. He was also too bewildered by the snow, the ski lift and the skiers around. Finally a sense of relief when he saw Daddy took off his googles and saw a familiar face.

Tomorrow will be Mummy’s turn as she signed up for a 1 Day Snowboarding course. Wonder how she will fare since she already feeling sick today. During lunch, we ate at the restaurant at the Buttermilk ski area. We had chicken barley mushroom soup and vegetarian pasta…Mal like both, which may save us alot of trouble next time as we may not need to prepare for him home cooked food everytime we go out.
