Traveling in good company

Today we had the privilege to travel with the entire Davis family, Dru, Keith (my aunt and uncle), Josh and Kelly (cousins). We loved it! Oliver especially. He loved the constant entertainment and attention. And we went everywhere! That's what happens when you travel with locals.....you see a whole lot in one day and they know exactly where to go. Today we went to First, Grindelwald, Trümmelbach Falls, Gimmelwald, and Murren. Amazing!!!

Top 10:
1) The cows here wear bells. I love it!
2) We took a pretty awesome ride on a cable car to a view point that overlooked Jungfrau (a mountain) and amazing views overlooking the Alps.
3) Tim, Kelly, and I road a zip line over the alps. (I'm feeling pretty cool about that and a big thank you to aunty Dru for watching little O so we could do that)
4) We had a yummy picnic with bagets and pasta and cheese and fruit with the alps creating a beautiful setting all around us.
5) We visited Trümmelbach Falls, amazing glacier waterfalls that are flowing through the middle of the mountains.
6) We took a cable car to , a very cute little Swiss town (only 120 residents).
7) There are paragliders flying overhead everywhere in Berner Oberland. So crazy, it's like flying people everywhere!
8) There were Alp horn players playing in the middle of the street in Murren, it was truly a genuine Switzerland experience.
9) These people literally live on the side of huge mountains in cute little wood houses. It's amazing! Not to mention that many of them take cable cars to get home.
10) Random waterfalls are spouting out of and down the mountains. It's beautiful!
