Our Family went skiing and I fell over

Carly McGearty tells how her family all went skiing and what it was like with her first time on the ski field.

I went skiing with my mum Ginia McGearty, my Dad Mike McGearty and my two sisters, Madison McGearty and Alyssa McGearty and my brother Liam McGearty.  We drove up to the Remarkables at 8am and got there about 11am.  We could not go up the big hill as there were no car parks left up there so we had to go in the bus.  It was good fun and I could see the snow every where.  When we got there mum and dad got my skis I loved it and kept falling over but my hands got really cold.  I fall over once and Alyssa ran into me and cut my hand.  Mum was running around because there was blood everywhere but I got a sticking plaster and it did not  hurt anymore.  We had lunch and a hot chocolate.  Liam played in the snow and did not go skiing - he is only 2.5 years and mum said he can go next year.  Madison and Alyssa were really good and mum said they can go up in the chair lift next time.  I was tired when we went back down in the bus and got in the car to go home.  Mum said everyone was turning right to Queenstown and we were the only ones turning left - I think she would have liked to have been able to stay the night in Queenstown, but Dad said we were out of luck.......
