Verbier and Zermatt, Switzerland

In March we took a week long ski holiday with friends. Cheers!

It was a mommy's night to have fun and we danced and had so much fun!


Derek and I at the top of one of the mountains in Verbier.


My friend Leslie and I at the easy hill that I can
ski down. They were all so nice to meet me here.
That run behind us is just right for me!

Derek and the gang eating lunch on the slopes.

Nothing like a French baguette before skiing! Verbier
is in the French speaking part of Switzerland.

This is Aaron. Drake was obsessed with him all week.
He could not get enough of watching him run around and play!

The view from our ski chalet.

Here is the actual chalet where we stayed for the week.

Another view from the chalet.

Drake trying to steel Max's nukki.

Now he is playing nice!

Ahhh, the Matterhorn!

Photo op! We got to take a snowmobile ride up
to the restaurant. Drake stayed in his stroller and
was pulled up in a "sled" while Derek rode along holding
the stroller in place. I wish I took a picture. It was quite
a sight! I rode on the back of the snowmobile with the nice
Swiss man.

Daddy and Drake taking in the beauty of Zermatt.
You can see the skiers behind Derek. You can ski right
down to the train that took us up here. We could not go all the
way up due to Drake being too young and the altitude would
have been too dangerous for his ears at the top.

Another view of lovely Verbier. This was at
a restaurant I went for coffee one afternoon that I took off
from skiing. I think I could have sat there all day taking in the
sunshine and views!

We had a wonderful ski holiday. Drake loved having a week with
other kids and going to daycare for a couple days. He actually
learned a lot from the experience. We had a great time with our
friends too and relaxing in the beautiful scenery. We will go again for sure!

Love to all,

Leah, Derek and Drake
