Kåbdalis!

Earlier in the week we went on a ski trip to Kåbdalis with a group of friends and their children. This is the cabin that we stayed in. Three families stayed in the bottom one and 2 in the top one.

We stayed in the bottom apartment with Sigrid and her family and Sara with family. Sara's son Liam and Sigrid's Elvin are similar age and get on really well so Jakob spent a lot of time following them around trying to be involved in their games that sometimes were a bit too advanced for him. He really looks up to the older boys but of course he is not so fun to them. Here he is getting some quality time with Elvin.
I tried to get a photo of our room where you could see where we all slept. Isak is in the left corner and Jakob in the right corner.



Jakob slept on a small borrowed mattress on the floor and he really liked it. We had no problem putting him to bed in the evenings, he was so tired at the end of the day and also thought it was quite cosy sleeping all of us toghether in a room.


The trip went very well and Adam and I and the kids had a great time. Adam improved his skiing a lot and I got to ski for an hour two of the days. I used to ski a lot when I was younger but as I got older the horses started taking up all of my time. I have always loved it and I hope it will be a family activity that we will do more of in the future. Jakob had his first go but wasn't so in to it. One mistace was that we had not prepared him for it at all and I also think he is a bit too young. I took him up in the lift, which went well, but taking him down was a nightmare. I had him between my legs and had to hold him in my arms the whole way down. I was stuffed when we got to the bottom.
Isak has been very easy going the whole trip and when he is outside in the pram he just sleeps. Day 2 he slept for 4 hours, the whole time we were outside pretty much. The last day he fell asleep when I put my skis on. Slept through me skiing, Adam skiing, us having lunch, the nearly 2 hour drive home and started crying as we turned the car off outside our house at home. Can't complain about that.
Hope this ski trip will be a tradition that we do every year!
