What a great weekend. Although the weather was the complete opposite of last weekend (aka: it was shit!) we still made the most of it and had a great time up at Falls Creek.

My bestie and her husband, along with their daughter, miss-5 and miss-almost-2, made the journey over from Adelaide by car (brave parents!). They got here in one piece and we were all excited about our trip to the snow. We booked an apartment through air bnb, which was simple and good value for money. The girls were decked out in all their new snow gear, and everyone was keen to hit the snow.

However, the weather thought otherwise. This first day rained ALL day. Not a little bit of light drizzle, but a deluge of heavy, windy rain. So we remained inside most of the day, venturing out whenever the downpours became less heavy.

Day 2 was better. The rain stopped over night and a big dumping of fresh snow awaited us in the morning. Miss-5 was especially happy with this! The rain persisted in the afternoon, coming back with even more ferocious winds, yet we still ventured out at times. Miss-5 had her first ever go at skiing and went to a lesson. She loved it!!

Overall what could have been a really depressing weekend was actually really fun. It reminds us that we can’t control everything and we have to make the most of every situation. It was so nice being able to spend time with close friends, as well as get them addicted to the snow so we can have more snow-buddies next season 🙂
