Sledding in Argentiere, France on Sunday Because of the unseasonably warm weather in the lower elevations there was little snow on the ground in Les Gaillands where we were staying or in Chamonix. Normally the area is covered with snow. The tourist center suggested a few places higher up that the kids could sled.
...So we loaded up the kids and went to Argentiere.
It took a survey of the ski area to find the best sledding spot. Sledding, called sledging here, is not as popular as it is at Kleine Scheidegg in Switzerland. At Kleine Scheidegg there are many desiganated areas for sledging and most of the particpants are adults. Not to be discouraged the kids found a great hill to play on.
And the sledging began!
Dragging the sleds up the hill...
And coming down the hill.

I loved the partial picture of Olivia laughing!!!!You could see her delight. Made me cry and smile all at one time. Reminds me how big she is!! The kids look like they had a BLAST!!!! The train ride sounds very stressful, but I am glad everyone kept a great attitude.
