Snow Adventures

Today was another gorgeous sunny day and it was Chris' turn to ski:

Quite the fancy lunch he had at the lodge:

Some maps of the terrain:

Meanwhile, the kids and I walked around town. We came to find out that a lot of stores and restaurants were closed during the week and only open on weekends until busy season starts in a few weeks. We had our hearts set on these bakery doughnuts but it was closed so we walked around until we found a cafe and had this instead:

And Ethan still got a donut afterall:

The kids befriended this 2.5 year old named Sven and I talked to his mom. Ha, they bombard kids anywhere near their age with hellos. They made a little buddies with a little blonde boy in the lodge the day before and were running around with him. It reminded me of when we were in Oia and Ethan was fast friends with this little black boy and was conversing with him across the bus. 

Then we ventured to the alpine activity center near the other lift/gondola and the beginner ski area.

There was an ice rink and 3 igloos! When we got closer we realized that it was inflatable plastic and not ice. 

We sledged down this hill together on our butts several times and they played in the snow together:

We had a pretzel bun sandwich from the store and then warmed up in the Dom Hotel lobby until we met up with Chris to head home. Bye Saas Fee-such a cute little village!

There were all of those really unique looking valleys with Bavarian houses but I couldn't take a photo from the car. Both kids can't kick this terrible cough (and have been sleeping horribly). We are also scared that Hailey is going to puke when we hear her cough (forgot to mention that she puked all over on the car ride to York). Ethan was complaining about his ears hurting. But then they both napped for most of the drive.

Then Hailey's ears hurt on the flight and she was screaming/crying for the last 45min. or more of the flight. Poor girl, that was her worst flight ever, I think. Then we still had to go through customs and didn't arrive at home until 2:45am!
