However we did drive to Thonon on our day off just to get out of a ski resort for a while. We picked up Sam and Lorraine on the way and it's only about 45 minutes away. Parked up near a few sports shops and got some bits a pieces there but then carried on to the main town. It was a lovely clear blue sky day and we walked through the town and down to Lake Geneva. Being around boats and the water was a nice change from ski lifts and snow. There are very nice bakery's and chocolate shops in Thonon so we all got our lunch and sat out on the grass area over looking the lake that we had just walked along.
This week on our day off we packed up the car bright and early and set off for Les Houches which is a resort near Chamonix to meet Tom and Dad. It was Dads birthday and he didn't realise we were driving round to join them so it was a nice surprise for him. Arriving at 8.30 we were ready for first lifts up. It had been snowing all night and the sun was out for the morning, so we were in for a treat. Some fantastic skiing in a new resort. We stopped for a beer and lunch overlooking the Chamonix valley and with a great view of Mont Blanc.
This weekend we have the rest of our families joining us with friends also. We are very excited to see everyone and will write up all about the weeks antics when we're resting after they all leave again.
Bye for now
