Searching for snow

Yes we found the snow at 650 metres at Baraque de Fraiture - one of the high points of Belgium.
We first stopped in Auberge de Carrefour for a croque monsieur and waffle. Can you see the cool boar in the picture?
Then we put on all our gear for the snow. I immediately went diving and jumping on the floor..yep some areas were just slush and mud. We did find cms of snow. I enjoyed sledging, making a snowman, constructing slopes for more sledging. We had a family snowball fight too. I love picking up snow as I walk along the path as it's the best snow I've seen.
We stopped in Liege and saw the Dali statue in front of the high speed train railway.

Carnival and Portugal

February carnival week we went to Portugal. All the family joined us in Óbidos. We met Jenn, Philippe, Florian and Audrey at the Torres Vedra Carnival and they came to stay too for a few days. We had pizza, went bowling, relaxed, played games, watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy in our attic cinema, walked on the beach, I was the tour guide in the city walls of Óbidos etc
