We decided kind of last minute that if we were going to go camping and go to all the work to pack everything, we might as well drive a few more hours and camp in Switzerland! Overall we had a great time and the weather was alright one of the days and perfect the other! We did have a few of the unfortunate things that go along with every trip we've ever had though. Briggs lost two teeth while we were there, which would have been a fun thing if he hadn't swallowed one of them and if Sawyer hadn't swallowed the other (yes we put the tooth in a cup - oops)! The tooth fairy came anyway - even in Switzerland - which was nice of her considering we don't have either of the teeth...still watching for those...
Then on another day Briggs opened one of the van doors and hit the car next to us. They were nice about it, but it's still going to cost around $300 or so. Real bummer!
And true to form...we were running late leaving for Switzerland - plus Tyler had worked that day - so we didn't get to the campground until 11:15 p.m. The reception office was long since closed, but there was a nice security gaurd who let us put up our tent and the kids were really good to keep quiet. They were also great for the 6 hours that they sat in the car while we drove - refusing to let them out to go to the bathroom or stop for dinner because we knew we weren't going to make it on time.
All in all though it was a great trip though and the kids loved it. And I have heard the saying that, "LESS IS MORE." But it is just too hard for me to make decisions - so of course - here are MORE pictures than I need to post!
This is our favorite thing to do in Switzerland! These are called Trotti bikes and are a cross between a bike and a scooter. We take a cable car up one of the mountains and ride these down. This was the first year that Briggs had done one on his own and as you can see...he was a little nervous! He loved it though once he got going! It was Sophie who had been nothing but excited who did a flip over her handlebars when a car came around the corner and scared her. She was tough though. She got back on and rode most of the rest of the way down.

Geez, it's beautiful there. You guys are pretty lucky. That's so crazy about the kids swallowing the teeth but works out for a great story! I think MORE is MORE when posting pics. I always think people don't care to see everything I post but I love to see everyone else's pics. Love them. Tell Sophie I love that pic of her by herself with the view behind her, she's in the pink jacket. Her hair is so long and beautiful!!!
How fun! I love all the pictures, so post as many as you have :)
Man it is gorgeous down there! It's been three years since we took that trip together - isn't that crazy? I can't believe that Sophie and Briggs did the scooters by themselves! I think that the 11pm arrival would have pushed us over the edge, but other than that...wish we were there!!!
So amazing and gorgeous. I'm so happy that you and your children get to experience such a wonderful area and that you are such fun parents to take your kids camping to Switz. Wow! And, it was an adventure at that. Hope all is going well.
Still living out my dreams through you guys. SO jealous. SO beautiful.
Love Switzerland! Feels like we were just there! Fun to see everything again! I will for sure make it back there someday!
cute pics as always! gorgeous background! missing you guys like crazy!
