APEX WITH THE RIPLEY'S!!
Its Christmas break here so the Ripley's are up at the cabin with us which has been fun. I had 5 days off over Christmas but I had a tummy bug on Christmas day which wasn't much fun!!
Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to lately!

Hanging out in the lounge...

Little Shaun, love him to bits he's so cute!!

Supper time! Reon and Evan cooked this one.

All the kids staying in the cabin. (The cabins two bedroom!)

Lillian got Evan and Reon some coke in these Christmas bottles...

Reon and Ev with there 'special' cokes



Skating at the rink!

Me and the kids!

NZ represent! We both came out wearing our NZ tops one morning.

Catching the chair lift up

Reon and I. He is now building the terrain park but when ever we go boarding he seems to find the time to go boarding with us - with hammer in hand and all!

Perfect snowboarding conditions! :0)

Having cuddles with Shaun after boarding.

CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
They have a torch light parade and a bonfire every Christmas eve. Volunteers meet at the bottom of the hill catch the T-bar up together and then ski or board down together carrying lit up torches so all you can see is a cluster of red coming down the hill, it was really pretty!

They lined up with there torches and a groomer that was decorated with lights came through...


Santa and an Elf came out of the groomer...


Fireworks!!

Reon and I.

Santa, Mrs Claus and an elf handed out presents...

Bonfire!

Ice skateing looks fun, and I thought it was cold here. it is cold we are to have the whole sum of 5 degrees Saturday. We had 5 about a week ago. I kinda like the 70-80 range. :-)) Hope you are having a lot of fun.
