Unforgettable Weekend.


On Friday we made our way down to Mt Ruapehu for a weekend at the snow, with family, friends, food, games and good times. And what an enjoyable one it has been. We had the most perfect day for weather on Sunday, which meant of coarse that the mountain would be packed. I mean seriously, isn't this incredible?


I tell you, the wait at the lifts was well worth it when you got to the top. Such an incredible view we had, as there were no clouds. And how good is it being in lovely ol' New Zealand, as you will definitely be bumping into people you know which always makes for a lovely and enjoyable surprise.


So many people, so many boards. I understand why snow gear always come in the bright and bold colours and patterns, as that is the only way to find the people you know!


And of coarse you cannot go a weekend in Ohakune without having the best burgers in town from Powder Keg! That kept me satisfied for hours to come. Also found the cutest little beanies while browsing the little shops. Absolutely loved this mousey one, but alas, my hair is too thick and long and won't fit under a beanie!

Cannot wait for the next trip down, amped already!

Let It Snow.



Well here we go friends, a very brief post today containing just a few essentials that I have to be packing for the weekend at the snow. I am so looking forward to a couple of days on the slopes, but trying to prepare as best I can for comfort and warmth!

Snow gear - Pants, jackets, gloves, goggles, board, boots etc.
Runaway Jury book for the evenings
Diana Mini to capture some shots of the beautiful mountains
Hot Water Bottle for the end of day relaxing
Mini Cupcakes with Ganache icing

I will be thinking of our little Flops so much, as I hate leaving her behind, but lucky for friends and family, we have sorted out company for Flops and someone is coming to house sit and keep her company.

So friends have an awesome weekend! Any of you have anything special planned? Hah I suppose half of you readers are all experiencing Summer time at the moment, so probably hard to contemplate us going to the snow :)
