a week in the swiss mountains

 

 

a week of skiing in the swiss mountains. of course not just skiing, but also boarding, enjoying the sunshine and snow regardless, as we haven't had any snow this year, in the lower lands of switzerland...
it was wonderful, the kids all loved it and so did joel and i. we have not done this kind of vacation in the past, but decided last spring to give it a try. lots of preparations and packing, sending the equipment ahead, in order to travel light on the train. it all worked out, wonderful ski school teachers, excited kids what more would we have wanted. family time,  no tv, many games of tichu, origami balls, knitting and writing, reading and playing games. preparing yummy meals and enjoying them in the warmth of our mountain cottage. a good time to relax and be still, yes even that was happening!
