Sun, Camera, Action ... Champery, Switzerland

Here are a few videos from our week in Champery, Switzerland. As you can see the scenery was amazing, the weather gorgeous and everyone had a wonderful time. And here is proof that Kellen has skiing in his future - he really seemed to pick up the sport and had a great time doing it! After viewing the videos, read on and see more photos and notes from our fun holiday.

Can't beat the lunch scenery...

Kellen downhill...

...love dead batteries in the video camera?!

Ski Week in Champery, Switzerland

We're enjoyed an amazing "ski week" in Champery, Switzerland (our second visit to the quaint village) - plenty of friends, food, fun and skiing. Kellen enjoyed taking ski lessons each morning and hitting the slopes in the afternoon with Daddy. Daddy was worn out after all the skiing and Mommy gave it a go for the first time in 10+ years and didn't do half bad! As for Devan, he spent one morning on skis but hasn't caught the ski bug yet, maybe next year. He was more than happy to play with his little friends in the local creche/day care each morning. All the families had a great time sharing meals, libations and relaxing company as the kiddos frolicked. The adults even enjoyed a couple of evenings out on the town!

Enjoy the scenery in these photos ...

Kellen turns 5!

Kellen and friends enjoyed a "Power Ranger" 5th birthday celebration at home today. Lots of fun for everyone! The highlight was a 'real' Power Ranger visit!
