Katelyn turns "9"

Hello everyone and Happy Spring! I can't believe how long it's been since I have posted something. We are all doing well and just seem to be busy doing the usual every day stuff. It really warmed up this past week and has been beautiful. However, today we are having a rainy day!

Last week Kate celebrated her birthday with the girls from her class. I think they all had a good time and it seemed that the 2 hours went by quite fast!

It's hard to believe she is "9". She has been wanting to get her hair cut at the salon that I get mine cut. So this past week we went and she had a good time. He didn't cut much off but she loved getting her head massaged and having her hair straightened.

I think it makes her look so much older! She's trying to wait as long as possible before washing it. She doesn't want to have her waves back.

We are all anxiously awaiting for next week. Jason gets back from the states and he'll be on the same plane as my parents from Atlanta to Zurich. I'll finally be posting some of our adventures while they are here. We are excited to take a train ride from Zermatt to St. Moritz called the Glacier Express. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the weather is nice and we have fantastic views!!!

School Trip to Grindelwald

Hi this is Devin. I want to tell you about our school trip to Grindelwald. We were gone for a week. We went skiing every day and at night we went sledding, ice skating, a movie in german, and karoke. It was great fun and Lucas and I also got a lot better at skiing. We'll never forget the experience.
This is the boy's room at the hotel. There were 6 boys sharing a room. This room had two floors. The bottom had the bathroom and shower with two beds. The second floor had another two beds and a bunk bed.
The hotel provided us all of our meals. After breakfast we packed a lunch of bread, meat, cheese, and a candy bar. For drinks, they gave us a choice of Ice Tea, Carbonated water, or Chocolate milk. We had fondue one night and it was good.

This picture is from the parking lot of the hotel.

One day we took a train through the mountain to the top of Jungfrau Mountain. It was warm and sunny at the top. The view was awesome.

I took these pictures at look out points on the way up. The train stopped for five minutes at every stop.

The snow and ice was huge and I felt like I was in the ice age.

I made it to the top of Europe. The sun was so bright I had to squint really hard just to stop myself from tearing.

This is me pretending to fall off the mountain.

We visited the ice palaces inside the mountain. People touched this spot so many times that it has left a print.

There were many sculptures around the caves.

This is a good picture of what the tunnels look like. This section wasn't open but had a neat polar bear sculpture.

They had a funny looking cow with a backdrop so Lucas and I decided to jump on for a funny picture.
