had to get out after lunch + double desserts at my parents

We woke up to a beautiful sunny day and there was a pretty big skate ski event for kids going on in the arena. It looks like so much fun skate skiing!
Mike went out to do some skiing after breakfast and then I got to give it another try. Well today was a different story, skiing in the soft snow worked better for me. Still terrible form but I had a better grip going uphill and it was slower downhill, perfect! Really enjoyed being out there. At least we got a tiny winter vacation in this year ;) We're motivated to do some type of xc skiing clinics to improve our technique, maybe next year!

Along the canal. Stopped to get some cardamom buns from Ronaldo's for the car ride to Ulricehamn. Learned that the one about a block from our place is the original, where it all started (there's at least 2 more locations in town).

Oh boy! Excited to take a lap once we had checked into the hotel and picked up rental skis. Not the best conditions after a mild sunny day and then temps went below freezing so it got icy. But I shouldn't blame anything, I sucked, terrible form.. took a few falls, wasn't really having fun so figured I'd just go for a run and skip skiing the next day.
Really cozy hotel though Nya Kurhotellet

went to Valla, there were some stroller friendly trails

evening walk along the canal, so many people out jogging and walking there

Birthday zumba! :) Then tapas dinner with my boys!
