Our second day in Switzerland started off pretty slow. We let the guys sleep in while we made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. After we ate, we took our time figuring out what we were going to do for the day.
We decided to go up into the mountains today. We took a short walk to the ski lift and got a really good deal on a half day pass that would take us to different points on the mountain.
Of course we had to stop and play in the snow as soon as we left the apartment.
We found a shovel buried under all the snow.
The walk through town was beautiful.
We took a funicular to Sunnega {7,507 feet} and then immediately took a closed lift to Blauherd {8,435 feet}. The views of the mountains were gorgeous! We played in the snow for a little while and then went back down to Sunnega for lunch.

Smile everyone!
Connor would rather eat the snow than smile for a picture.

He liked to slide and eat the snow.
After lunch, we took the lift all the way up to Rothorn {10,180 feet}. It was very bright and the snow was reflecting all the light. A sweet lady reminded us that it was bad for the little ones eyes, so we put sunglasses on them.

I made a snow angel. :)
Connor loved sliding down the slide.
And playing on the seesaw.
We only stayed up there for about 20 minutes. On our way down, my ears and head hurt so bad from the altitude change. I am so happy it didn't affect Connor like it did me.
We were tired from a fun day in the mountains, so we went back to the apartment and cooked steaks for dinner. We continued our movie marathon and went to bed pretty early.
On our third day, the guys went skiing. They left the apartment at 8:30 and we made breakfast for the boys. After that, everything that seemed to go wrong, did. My friends little boy threw up, we broke her curling iron, and then we couldn't get the door to lock on our way out of the apartment.
We eventually made it out and walked around the city. While the guys were skiing, we planned on taking pictures of Zermatt and eating Chinese for lunch. I am not even kidding, both boys were asleep within 10 minutes of us walking out the door. We were shocked, and really excited to have lunch in quiet. We could have girl talk and actually enjoy our food. Well not 15 minutes after sitting down, Holden got sick again. At that point we knew we needed to leave. We asked our waiter to pack up our food and we took it back to the apartment.
Connor slept for another hour at the apartment.
Aaron came home early from skiing. He was sore and tired from his first day. After telling me how beautiful the view was from the lift, I sent him back to take pictures. After seeing them, I wish I would have joined him!

Beautiful!
