The Törnquist family gather together on the 20th December in Åre to 28th December to celebrate Christmas and we went skiing almost together everyday.
It was the first time for Gabriel to ski. As for Ellie and Vel, they had been skiing few years back when we were still living in Sweden. In fact we went skiing once or twice a week before as we lived near a ski slope. We stop when we left Sweden and now we decided to start again. Somehow it has been 6 years since the last time we skies. I thought I would have forgotten but somehow I am very surprised that I still remember how to ski. It is not that good though and little tense with the slippery slope and speed.
Peter taught Gabriel how to stand, slide, bend on his ski. He started on the easiest children slope first and when he could take the ski lift himself, Peter took him onto a slightly steeper slope. He get the grasp of it slowly.
Since farmor (grandmother) was also skiing with her grandchildren. Ellie, Vel and her ski together. They even had couple of race down the slope together.
In fact, I love the healthy lifestyle we had those couple of days there, when we woke up in the morning, had breakfast together and started putting on our ski clothes and there we go.
