Sun & Ski in Spain!

In Andalucia you can be by the sea one minute and then in the snow.  Hayley was 4 1/2 and Troy nearly 3 when we tried it out.  Starting off with Dad's birthday in Tarifa, we then got into our car and drove just 3 hours, arriving to the mountains above the clouds.
 
Grannie Sam made dad's cake - mum took it all the way to Spain
View from our Hotel

Hayley did classes and zoomed down the slope, Troy however refused to wear sunglasses so he wasn't allowed to be in the class.  He didn't mind, he just played in the melting snow!

Troy puddling around !
Mum and Dad skied every mountain.  It was really melty, but they had machines to top it up.  Mum skis and Dad snowboards.  Me and Troy ski.  Snowboard next.
Dad checking out the view.  You could see all the way to the ocean from up top.

We wanted to see the view so went in the cable car.
Skiing over, it was time to go to the sea side!

On the way back to Tarifa we stopped at a shopping centre and took a break.

In the same day we were in the snow and on the beach!
Windy ,,,  but still nice and sunny.
Hayley and Dad take a special walk along the Paseo

Grenada

One of the best holidays we went on was to Grenada.  Grenada is an island in the Caribbean.
Grenada is near Venezuela
This is the view at the north of the Island
This is the capital St. Georges




This is just outside our bedroom ...
.... where we climbed the coconut trees.


My Great Grannie Bell's house in the hills
Great Grannie Bell is Daddy's Grannie. She's 95!

We collected Coconuts for Breakfast
A lady with a macheté choped them open for us
mmmmm!
