Switzerlalnd!

Ok, it took me a little while, but here are the pics from Switzerland.  They don't do it justice, but hopefully will give you an idea of how beautiful it was.  We stayed in the Lauterbrunen Valley, which is near Interlaken.  Supposedly it's the most beautiful part of the country (or so says my guide book).  It had waterfalls galore and on a clear day you can see three famous peaks:  Jungfrau, the Shilthorn, and I forget the other… haha!

We took a cable car up to a "car less" village… a town only accessible by cable car, train, or foot!  It was awesome because we didn't have to worry about our kids walking down the middle of the street. And it was very quiet. We found a fab restaurant with a great view of the valley below.

He just ate a graham cracker

The kids got tuckered out as we hiked along the ridge, so they took the train back down but Katie and I continued back to Lauterbrunnen by foot because we're hardcore like that.  It was a grand adventure.  I love this shot of Katie.

Jack was totally falling asleep when we took this picture.  It was hilarious. 

We took another cable car up to this great little playground with spectacular views… it rained on us but it was still fun.

Then we switched off taking turns and rode the "Trotti" bikes down the mountain… a hybrid of a bike a scooter.  It was crazy fun. 

There's Ben with his trotti

The other fun thing we did was a "rodelbahn" or Alpine Slide.  Unfortunately, I don't have any awesome photos of it.  Katie and Shea??

A cool cemetery we stumbled upon

Ben got a kick out of this depiction.  Maybe because he relates all too well

More cowbell!

This little creek was right outside the apartment we stayed in

Katie taught me how to French braid.  Yay!  She's got mad skills

Hanging at Lake Brienz, which had stunning turquoise water

Ben about gave me a heart attack trying to get the "perfect" photo of James airborn. 

Took this picture on the way home… you wouldn't think it, but we had to leapfrog across a busy road and fight our way through a bunch of Asian tourists on multiple tour buses, but we got the shot!
