Greys on Trays

Not blogged for a while and finding it hard to start so we've added a lot of photos for you!!

 

Mogs big birthday was coming up on 1st February and wanted to do something different - so we decided to go snowboarding - never done before and the ski resort is only 3 hours away in the mountains - Sierra Nevada.

On the way to the Mountains

In the Mountains
The road from Granada was way high up and very steep and scary - Dave drove Vannie really well - Mogs was  too scared to open her eyes and take pics!
Here's some pics of the not so scary bits of the route up....

Off to the Slopes!

 

Snowboarding is way harder than it looks - we can't do it! We were rubbish but good fun trying plus we looked good wandering round with our snowboards by the bar!!  Ski hire gear was a bit geeky though!



 

Sore bums at end! And sunburnt faces - it was boiling at the top

 

What's Alec doing here? Look closely behind Dave!....

Dave's son has a double

It's my Birthday!!

Had cards and prezzies arriving in Spain and lots of Facebook messages :)

 

 

 

Mogs fab prezzy from Dave, Kez & Sam - Garmin 610 GPS running watch :)

Even tells you how to get home if you get lost - definitely need that!

 Great trip to the mountains -  it's the only ski resort where you can have snow in the morning and be on the beach in the afternoon.  We came back and jumped in the pool to finish off the Birthday Weekend!
