Photos: October 2008 - Switzerland


The kids and I had the first Friday in October off school & work, so we went to Switzerland, with the intention of stopping in Luzern (above and below), then going to the top of Pilatus to stay the night -- the boys and I wanted to hike up, while Heidi and Mallory were going to take the train.







A snow storm came in the day before, so our hiking plans had to be postponed, but we all went up anyway.


Luke forgot to bring up his hat, so after a while, Nash had the great idea for Luke to put a pair of underwear on his head to keep warm. It started out as a joke, but Luke actually did it.


And he enjoyed it...












Every once in a while, there was a break in the clouds and we could see down into the valley.


We then drove from Luzern down to the Lauterbrunnen valley. It was a beautiful drive.
We went to the Truemmelbach falls.
Grant was very proud of this action shot -- nearly horizontal, but in mid-air.


We then checked in to a hotel - the boys liked the chess table in the lounge.

In the evening after dinner we walked up to the waterfall coming off the mountain on the right side.

On the way back we stopped by the temple near Bern.
