He's the super hero with the secret power of annoyment (legit word, trust me).
Ben's been a bit trying lately..we have to remember he's only 4 and we put him in a lot of different and unusual situations but sometimes he doesn't half know how to push our buttons.
To be fair there's also the issue that sometimes you have to tone down your travel plans and remember that not all the things you would like to do are possible with a 4yo in tow.
The dog sledding was an amazing experience but it might have been a little too much for Ben. He loved it to start with but turned into Annoyo Boy later on.
A team of 9 Alaskan Huskies took us at sometimes breakneck speed along a forest trail and out onto a frozen lake. I got to drive for a while and actually brought us in including crossing the highway.
The last day skiing was a great day for all of us. Ben had his best lesson of the week and put it all together well. He's now confident on the button lift again after some tumbles earlier on.
He got diplomas from Martina his ski instructor and Jessica his crèche lady. Apart from one morning Ben was on his own with Jessica in crèche. Amazing really that the best kids resort in Sweden had no other kids in crèche. It was almost like a kids private cooking clinic. Ben & Jessica made home made walnut & apricot bread, pancakes & popcorn.
We had free skiing on the last day so we caught the bus to the main mountain and the huge gondola lift to the top. We skied down then zigzagged our way back to our resort via various other lifts. Great fun.
