Zermatt

For our annual family vacation, with the Callister's this year, we went to Zermatt.  We had been two years prior, and made a return trip :) To be honest I was a little nervous, last time was a little bit of a disaster....but I went in with a good attitude, made sure not to forget our swimming suits, and already we were off to a better start.  On the way up the girls took a little snooze in the car.

This time we stayed in two separate sutis, which helped the chaos a little.  Each family still had one room to share, but being with just one other family helped A LOT.  The kids were excited to get out of the car and explore...

On the grounds, they have a really neat carousel.  We had to make at least one trip a day....this was the scary cougar, Aubree's favorite!

On the way there Aubree discovered that she had a blister.  She wasn't sure what it was called (since she's never had one before) and she kept calling it funny names...some of which were: blimpster, blogster, blumpster, blomster, it was pretty fun to hear what she came up with. :)

Grandpa took good care of Casey while Sophie rode the pony.

We had to feed the goats a few times too.  They're so cute and ALWAYS so HUNGRY.  They even wanted to give Casey a kiss...

This was a cute little sitting room off of the cafe.  Aubree is obsessed with clocks, so she was in heaven.

This is just about the cutest thing ever.  Rae and Addie saying their night prayers.

The boys went golfing, while we took the kids out.

Another pony ride was in store...

And Joely didn't want to miss out on the fun.

Neither did Brody's doll.  Pasqually Dasiy.

We went exploring through Zermatt and The Homestead.

I know this picture is terrible, but I had to try to get a shot of the girls sleeping.  In our room we had two queen beds.  I decided that it would be a lot less painful if Dave and I slept on separate beds with one of the kids.  It was still a little weird putting them to bed in the same room.  (They stayed up and talked FOREVER.)  But it ended up working A LOT better than I thought.  And we all actually got sleep. :)

We had lots of fun, going swimming, on walks, shopping in Park City...spotting deer.  And it ended up being a wonderful trip.  Here we are on our last night.  Rob took us to the restaurant at The Homestead, and for the most part, the kids were good...it was delicious and a fun way to end our trip.

On the walk home to Zermatt, our family went to see the crater.  Our girls thought it was really neat, and it was my first time seeing it too.  It was so warm!

The next morning we packed up to leave. And Grandma took the girls around while we got ready.  They had lots of fun riding the baggage cart.

Goodbye Zermatt, until next time.
