~Yodelay-hee-hoo~


~Hotel Pension Gimmelwald in the Jungfrau region near Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland! This is a place that everyone should visit at least once in their lives! I will definitely be back. I think we will spend the 4th of July here. Loved it!~


~I love this little muscle man / boy!~


~I wish he would walk more on his own... he does sometimes.. but not always! But we were not going to let this slow us down~


~We had the best time with the William's family! The boys had so much fun having friends to play with - and we loved sharing this experience with them. We have been so blessed having such wonderful friends in Germany~


~Family photo in front of the view that we enjoyed for 4 days! I honestly don't think it gets better! I say this.. and then I go to another location and continue to be amazed!~


~The sunsets with the pink on the mountains... priceless!~


~This is the cable car we took up to our hotel... it also continues on to the very top of the mountain~


~We ate a picnic lunch at this beautiful location on two days - I don't think it gets any better than this~


~We made it to the top! Don't look down!~


~Magnificent mountain views along one of our hikes~


~This was right next to the cable car that you ride up to our hotel. This entertained the kids for many, many hours. Nothing like a playground on top of the world!~


~We rode the cable car up to the very top of the Schilthorn Mountains. You could see all the way to Italy, France, Austria & Germany~


~We have not spent much time in Switzerland... but now we know why so many people love it! We will definitely return soon!~



~We really loved this vacation... we have never been so close to such amazing mountains... views were spectacular~


~One of my favorite things about being in the mountains is how incredibly quiet & still it is. And then then you would be able to hear the sounds of cow bells all around you. This was quite the collection~


~Steve just got done holding them up by their feet and "dipping" them in head first under the water. That will cool you down for sure!~


~Two best friends just enjoying the view!~


~We had our hiking poles, good attitudes, & we made lots of fabulous memories.. I love my boys! They loved the adventure, and also finding the red & white signs along the trail to help us know we were headed in the right direction~


~Just taking a short break to cool off in the river - brrrrrr!~


~On this hike we saw about 15 waterfalls as we hiked down the mountain~


~We had so much fun going on hikes each day. With so many beautiful sights around each corner~


~You cannot be on the top of the Alps in Switzerland and not have some chocolate Fondu - yummy! We ate dinner at these tables with this view every single night. Perfection~


~It really does not get any better than this.. bury me here when I die... please~


~It was freezing, but it felt so good to cool down~


The weather was so beautiful we could not pass up a stop at this beautiful lake on the way home from our Switzerland adventure! Another fabulous time together with our friends & family~
