Les Diavleres

The weekends have been so fun to take random day trips up to the mountains.  Henry especially begs to go to the mountains.  He wants to be up in the snow!  We haven't hit any snow yet, but next weekend we are planning on returning here and taking a tram to a glacier where they give you rides on a dog sled.  How cool does that sound?  I hope it works out.  To our dismay, we haven't stubbled upon any St. Bernards or Berniese mountain dogs yet.  Elsa wants to run through a mountain meadow.  She cracks me up.  She has talked about running through a meadow in the mountains so much we showed her "The Sound of Music."We were on our way to a city called Gstad-pretty famous ski resort and stumbled upon Les Diavleres.  They had this great little park and we ended up not going any further.  The kids had such a great time on the swing and teeter totter.  The parks in Switzerland have been such a great treat.  They have all of the equipment we use to play on, but was taken away for our children because it was too dangerous.  I'm so glad they are experiencing a real teeter totter!

Take special not of the turquoise purse Elsa has on her shoulder.  She carries it everywhere.  It is full of treasures.  That purse has become her best friend!  Thanks Kendra!
Henry played on this rope swing for probably an hour.  No kidding.  
The spring in this motorcycle moved.  Rad.

I am also noticing the cute yellow dress Elsa is wearing. Love it. Looks like a ton of fun!

Great parks!!! That's so great for the kids! My little Dani has a best friend purse that she carries too, although she is generally also garbed in the floofy shoes and some sort of contraption for her head as well.
