It really IS the last of the ski season now, but the snow conditions are still great. Anna had said to Toby that she really wanted to experience skiing on a glacier, so on Friday morning (yes - she played hooky from school, but it was worth it) Toby took her to Grand Montets with his old friend Chris and they skied the glacier. It was very exciting - Anna had to wear a harness and Toby carried a rope in case she fell in a crevasse. But really, it's like skiing on a piste, so many people ski it. The conditions were incredible, and they had 'le grand bleu' - blue skies and sunshine. Hard to believe this was the 4th of May!
Maybe it's because my mother and I have become hooked on the UK documentary series 'One Born Every Minute' while she's been here - a fly-on-the-wall series in maternity hospitals in the UK that basically just shows birth stories - that I look at these pictures and can't believe that Anna is already 8 years old, and starting on the adventures with her dad that Toby has been looking forward to since her birth. She's such a big girl now, and is really a fearless little skier.
The days are long but the years are short...
But I'll let the pictures do the talking.
