We will meet them now. - Oh, hi!
- Hey, Laura! Straight into the woods. Are you ready? Now I'm twelve in 24 hours. - NO! Disgusting!
- Laura... Laura has a very strong will. We're bribing her a little. Hey, hey! We are in Kläppen Ski Resort.
Laura is learning to ski. - Hey, hey, mushroom!
- Hey, hey, mushroom! Hello, Trolla! There we go. Hold it like this. Exactly! She's straddling one of my legs. I placed the button a little lower than normal
so she can have one arm over it. This way her entire
back is supported
and we can both ride. I want my pacifier. Yes, you want your pacifier.
It will be very tough if the button lift is very steep. - Mommy, can I have my pacifier now?
- No, but you can have a small treat if you ski down. - No, if I don't ski down.
- Yes, if you ski all the way down, you'll get a little treat. - A pink candy.
- A pink candy. Laura hasn't found learning to ski to be particularly fun. She's been at ski school for three days
and there was quite a lot of whining the f
irst two days. A mom there gave us the tip to have a small pastille box
and every time she comes down, give a little pastille. Then she actually thinks that learning to ski is a lot more fun. So yeah, all ways are good except the bad ones.
We bribe her a little. Oops! - You're doing so well! Look what I've got.
- Oh, wow! You have to sit up if you're going to eat one. It's such a mess to go around on skis and... Yes. It's very difficult. The equipment is a bit heavy,
so you get pretty sweaty whe
n teaching a child to ski. There's a great conveyor belt over here
if you're a beginner and think it's hard to ride a button lift. It's very convenient. The kids just stand on it, ride up,
and then they can go down themselves. Laura's helmet makes it a little itchy,
so we take it off every now and then. - She has so much hair.
- Yes, a lot of hair. There. No hair and no itch. Very nice. There! Here we go! Good, Laura. ...set, go. Stand up like a star. - Hug me!
- I'll catch you, I'll catch you!
You're doing so well! Mommy, give me my pacifier. "Give me my pacifier." - No, not candy.
- Not candy? Huh? Oh, how cozy.
It's a bit difficult with... Oh! His hands are ice cold. He must have gloves. Okay. Urso can have my gloves. - Gosh!
- They're too big. Yes, they're too big. Urso can borrow your gloves. - Yes.
- Yes. There. And the other hand. - He can't, it's too big.
- Yes, we can get smaller gloves for Urso. Yes. Teeny-tiny gloves. Laura has a very strong will. Yes, but Urso must wear glo
ves. Teeny-tiny gloves. And when she gets hungry, she also gets angry.
So, hangry. - What do you say in Portuguese?
- In Portuguese? "Com fome." "Estou com fome."
(I'm hungry) - "Com fome."
- "Com fome." - She's hungry.
- Yes. - What did you give Laura to counteract "hangriness"?
- I gave her a cheese flavored corn cake. We're ambassadors for Friggs and they come to the rescue on the slopes.
Those and the pastille boxes. Another tip for those who are going to teach younger kids to ski:
Don't ove
rdo the time on the slopes. - Yes.
- Short periods. Short periods, short breaks, small snacks,
and try to ski when the children think it's fun. Mhm. Before noon is pretty good. ♪ (Laura hums the Finger Family Song) ♪ Alma and Harry called from here
and said they're going to eat lunch. We'll go in and see what's up. - They called the Daddy Bank.
- Yeah. Exactly. Hello! - Hey!
- Hey! - Is it just the two of you here?
- Yes. - Where are your friends?
- We haven't hung out with them today. - Only yo
u two have skied?
- Yes. - Where are all the pals?
- I don't know. They were busy. - Have you got along?
- Yes. They're dirty! How nice. Are the gloves dirty?
They get dirty when you ski, Laura. - Mommy, are they too small?
- No, they're probably just right. - Are you two hungry?
- Yes, very. Laura is sleeping and we are sitting in the gondola
on the way up to the top. Yep.. She's not alone in the room. No. Her babysitter Elma came by. She's there now and when Laura wakes up,
they will play for
a little while. Yes. Kläppen is so amazing for us.
We've been here before, so we kind of have a social life here. We've gotten to know some other families,
found a babysitter for Laura. And both Alma and Harry have friends
and they can ski around the mountain by themselves. And they can't get lost because you can't get down
anywhere else on the mountain. So they don't need to be picked up or walk far. We're staying at Hotel Kurbits, right on the slope,
so they can ski in and ski out by themselve
s. So it's so worth it for us to continue going here. - Yes. It's hard to find a more convenient ski resort.
- Yes, for our family anyway. Yes. - But now we're going to see if we can find Alma and Harry on the slopes.
- Yes. - Watch your head.
- Yes. Gotta watch out! We've found Harry and his friends.
Dante and Vigor. - Harry! How's it going?
- Good. - Are you going to ski off-piste?
- Yes. I can't hear you.
Where are you guys going? We're going off-piste. - Do you usually do that over here?
- Y
es. This is like the back of the mountain. And what does off-piste mean,
for those who are not so good on skis? It's that you don't ski on the road.
You go straight out. You don't ski close to the road. - You go out into the forest between the trees.
- Instead of on the slope. You call the slope "road." - Is it okay if you have a camera on your head?
- Okay. - Then we can see how it looks.
- Yes, because we do not want to ski there. I think you need to wear your ski goggles.
Make sure they're co
mfortable. The other day, Harry tricked me into the woods. I will never do that again.
I'm too big and heavy to ski among the trees. But you think that's fun, right? - Yes.
- Yes. - There. If it falls off, you have to pick it up, okay?
- Yes. - You guys can let me know.
- Yes. One of you can ride in front of me.
No, I'll go first because I have the GoPro. Or? - There. It's filming.
- Okay! Let's go! Go right. Are you ready? Is everyone ready? - Is it hot?
- Yes. But it's very cold today. - In th
e air you mean?
- Mhm. - Everything is relative. I mean, it's April.
- Yes, but it's been much warmer previous days. Yes, it actually has. - It's someone's birthday tomorrow.
- Yes. - Speaking of April.
- Yes. How does it feel? Twelve years old. Special. It feels like the year has just… ...shot by and then just,
"Well, now I'm twelve in 24 hours." So... it's a little weird. - Do you want to film on your birthday?
- No, I don't. It's been a long time since you wanted to film a birthday. It was wh
en I was six years old. It was the last birthday video and kind of the first.
One of the first. Yes. Why is that? I think birthdays are a pretty private thing for me.
I like to spend it with just the family and not share it. Yes. Harry still thinks it's fun to film birthday videos. Yes, Harry loves filming his birthday
because then he can watch it back. But I remember. - Where are we going now?
- To Trolle and Trolla's house! Trolle and Trolla's house. Who are they? They're gone now. We will mee
t them. We will meet them now. How nice! Trolle and Trolla are two trolls
who live here on the Kläppen Mountain. Laura met them on the slope
and they invited her to their house. They usually have little get-togethers for kids in that house. Usually, it's for more kids
but since we want to film, we get to be there just us. - Harry comes along as a supportive big brother.
- Yes. Laura said the other day that she was afraid of Trolle.
So then Harry said, "I'll come along." What's this?! Yes, bring
the juice, Laura.
Good! Now we're one more to keep an eye on her. - I'm a grandmother. (Mother's mother)
- I'm a grandmother. (Father's mother) - I'm a grandmother. (Mother's mother)
- Yes, but a grandmother is better. (Father's mother) Hello! - Daddy, tell me something.
- Hello! I have been flying the drone. - Daddy, you have to wear the glasses.
- Oh. - Did it go well?
- It went great. How exiting! Who lives here? - Someone is knocking on the door, Trolle!
- Who could that be? I'll open the do
or. - Oh, hello!
- Hello, Laura and Harry! Are you visiting? We're in the middle of brushing our pine cones before dinner,
so they're nice and clean. Would you like to help us perhaps? - Yes, come in! It's a bit of a step up here.
- One, two... Jump! - And Harry.
- Yes. There. - Oh, but Trolle! We have to bring out our visitor's chairs!
- Of course. Have a seat. Here you are! - Have you ever eaten a pine cone before?
- No. - Not? But it's so good.
- Why haven't you tried it? I don't know. Put it
in here,
that way we know it's ready and washed. - Come, let's check out our upstairs.
- Okay. - The stairs are a bit steep, you can hold here.
- I hold you. There! Welcome up! Thanks. - This is were Trolle and I sleep.
- Can you guess who sleeps where? - Trolle sleeps there and Trolla sleeps there.
- How did you know that?! Because it's the same bed. And my pet fish, Hugo, actually sleeps here. We lulled him to sleep earlier today with a troll song.
Do you know any troll songs? No. Do you know
any lullabies? Or any human song? - Mm.
- Yes. What's your favorite song? Hmmm... - Penguin!
- Penguin. But it's not a song. I want that penguin song. You want a penguin song.
Maybe we can create a penguin song. ♪ Meeh, meeh, little penguin. Do you have any fish? ♪ ♪ Yes, yes, dear troll, I have three bags full ♪ ♪ With fish! ♪ ♪ And two little... fish for the little baby penguin! ♪ It turned out great! It's six o'clock and we're at ICA Kläppen. We're going in to buy some food.
We're going to h
ave dinner together with two friends' families. Yes. The people we hang out with the most
up here in the mountains. They live down at the campsite.
Actually, we were supposed to be there at six o'clock, so, right now. So I don't know. We can blame the trolls. You can't do that, but the rest of us can. - But it was great fun with Trolle and Trolla.
- Yes, great fun. Yes. That's not really why we're late at all.
We're always a little late. - Mommy, mommy!
- Yes? - Can I buy one of those?
- No, no
pastries. We're going to buy stuff for tacos, Laura. - NO! DISGUSTING!
- Laura... I want to eat that. Yum, yum, yum. "Yum, yum, yum."
Tacos are yum, yum, yum. - Or what do you say?
- Yes. Now you need to be quick. The clock is ticking. - Come on, girls. Let's keep going.
- I want one! Over here I see the cure for a hungry child. Popcorn flavor. - Was it good?
- But I want bun. Yes, I know. But that's also good, right? Daddy seems to be done with the shopping. How nice! - Hello!
- Hello! Hey! Hey
! Hello! - Welcome to us!
- Thanks! This is our first mountain trip during Easter. One thing we can all agree on
is that the days are so much longer. - Yes.
- Yes. Yes, both on the slopes and afterwards.
Sometimes we've been out until the lifts close. - I'm tired.
- Yes... - We understand that you're tired.
- You get it from skiing and such long days. Yes. - But it's nice.
- You get tired all over. Even in the eyes. My body needs to rest a bit. Yes. Yes, it's warm and it's lovely and it's fun.
A
nd it's different from what we've experienced before in the mountains. Yes, indeed. We hope you enjoyed this video. - (Harry + Alma + Axel) Yes.
- What do we say then? Thank you for watching this video! Please leave a thumbs up, or down. Mostly thumbs up.
