Winter Fun in the Rockies and Alps


Winter in Switzerland, Jan 2009!







We are back in Switzerland after spending a month in Colordado. It was a great trip home and feels good to be back into our routine and continuing our adventure! It took about 8 days to adjust to the time change, the kids were literally up with me at midnight helping to clean floors, cook, whatever we could find to do. Here Charlie and Ella are playing in our yard in Switzerland Jan 2009, the trees are fun to climb in the winter! No leaves makes it easy to navigate through the tree.






These trees are part of the apple orchard right behind our backyard. We have been taking walks with our sled and sledding everywhere, the fields are all filled with snow and the sledding is perfect right now.



Skiing in Vail, Colorado. We spent almost the entire month of December with family and friends in Colorado. We had lots of fun visiting, eating our favorite foods and getting up to the mountains for some fun. It was Charlie's first time on skis and he was tired after about the 3rd run....he started eating snow while skiing down. Ella was going up the charilifts with Ryan and they both skiied for about 2 hours.











Charlie...chichi chocho boy.......the cousins in Vail...............Ahhh, Cassidy, we miss her!!!







Me packing to go back, are you kidding me? We ended up buying more bags and coming back with 7 bags, 2 car seats, 1 double stroller and 3 carryons. Yes, we found a taxi big enought to haul our Christmas gifts and American necessities back with us!!
