Sabine and her friend E slept upstairs in the loft by themselves. They had a great time playing together, we were really impressed how much time they were able to spend happily without any adult intervetion.
Although there was plenty of hanging around the adults and their boring conversations, too.
We had some good meals
And the older girls really did well with the younger girls
Even all watching a movie together.
We managed to get a hike in
Where Sabine and E both practiced jumping off of rocks with Sabine's daddy
and E's daddy
Relaxing in the snow with mommy
as well as in the dirt. That sunshine was welcome!
But, of course, the highlight of the whole weekend was skiing. Sabine and E took a lesson at the same time. It was a mad scramble getting everyone ready and suited up in the morning, and there were tears and carsickness, and we told ourselves that it would be fine if all they did was play in the snow. Sabine seemed like such a big girl, right up until I sent her off with her instructor. Watching her walk away, I had an overwhelming sense of just how small she still is, and I had to wonder if we had pushed too much.
I didn't have to worry.
She is such a big girl! She did that, over and over, for an hour and fifteen minutes. E's mommy and I were ridiculously proud. (I may have mentioned.) I wish I had some pictures from closer up, but we didn't want to interrupt the lesson. Hopefully we'll have a chance for more pictures soon. In the meantime, we called the whole trip a success.
The girls had a delicious lunch of mac and cheese and M&Ms
And we headed back to the cabin
After a quick rest in the car, we changed clothes and hit the local hot springs.
We all slept well that night! It was a really fantastic weekend, for so many reasons.
