Ice diving and other fun
The reason for Quent’s recent diving question was revealed on our skiing trip when he decided to go ice diving. I asked the instructors if it was dangerous and they said the only problem was breathlessness. I spent an anxious 15 minutes’ waiting for Quent and his poor, spotty lungs to reappear. Of course, he re-emerged without a care in the world, wondering what I had been worrying about.
We had a great trip, in spite of the blizzard-like conditions. Oakley’s highlight was being hurled into deep snow, though he also stuck at his skiing lessons. We went skidooing and sledging, built a snow hole (this was more for Quent’s enjoyment than Oakley’s, of course) and met some really interesting people. Here are a few pictures of the boys having fun.

Helen - it must be so tiring taking two kids on holiday, even if one of them has just about learnt to pack his own stuff. Provided it can be found from the year before of course! Suprised Q's not in his olies and seaboots, like a certain Explorer walking trip to Wales a few years back!
Hope to see you all soon,

Having just spent a week trying to keep both warm and upright on the TOP of a piste, I must say it never occurred to me to even think about getting wet and UNDER it! Then I remembered whose holiday photos I was looking at!
Glad you had such a great time.
Good luck tomorrow

Great photos. Brought a smile to my day.

Let me get this right. Oakley was wearing the yellow jacket?
Cheers,

I don't know if anyone's noticed on the pics, but Quent's specs seem to held together with sellotape.
Maybe one fall too many? A snowball in the face? Or more likely he did it a few years ago and never got them repaired. In any case - typical Quent!
Fingers crossed for tomorrow - warm fuzzy vibes from the Sylvester household.
