Just got back from two weeks in the Alps (Verbier, Switzerland for me - though the kids visited Morzine, France too)As you'll see - we had a fair few injuries - all part of the fun though eh? :D

HI Veronica...
My youngest daughter was coming down a steep rocky - cobbled trail, she was nearly at the bottom when she hit a bump/rock and she lost her grip of the bars - she then bounced forward off the bike and her face landed in my friend's back wheel - the spokes cut her face and she had six stitches (and half the trail removed from the cut) she rode back to the chalet afterwards - and was out on her bike the next morning. It was 10 days ago now and there is barely a mark on her face to show her school friends!
The other daughter was coming down a downhill trail in Morzine - she jumped what she thought was a single jump to find it was a table top which she landed on awkwardly - fell off the side - arm went out to save her but she landed badly. She carried on riding too - it wasn't until the next afternoon that we took her to casualty and discovered she had a hairline fracture of the radius.
Wow! That is terrific! I hope they never lose the spirit of adventure they seem to have.

Awesome photos! Your vacation looks wonderful.
I like that picture of your daughter reading her book with those gorgeous mountains and clouds in the background. :)
thanks for the comments :0)
Lisa, the one of my daughter reading was for a schools competition - "be photographed reading my a famous landmark and win an ipod" we figured Mont Blanc might do the trick
That was one of my faves too--just goes to show that a true reader can read anywhere!:)Quote:
