Switzerland has all these crazy Christian holidays through out the Spring. I can't complain much because it just gives us more school days off and more time to explore this wonderful place we live!
For Ascension weekend we decided to head Pilatus...a mountain peak by Luzern. It had been a cold week before we went so we prepared ourselves for some snow. We went with some friends of ours, the Gyslers, and rode the cogwheel train up (the world's steepest)! Once you get to the top you can't believe how far you've come!
A beautiful view from the top!
Just can't get over how those Swiss mountains seem to go forever.
This view is from the opposite side looking down on Lake Luzern.
One of my favorite parts was watching them make music on the alphorns. It was beautiful and felt a little like I was in a Ricola commercial.
We were right in preparing for snow...there was a ton on the top making all the hikes closed. So we opted for a snow ball fight instead!
We rode the gondola down the other side and found ourselves in Spring-like weather. Quite a change from the snowball fight we just had:) We played in this amazing park for hours! Allison just loves to swing. She almost fell asleep in it.
We grilled up some swiss sausages & ate a yummy lunch. The Gyslers accidently left their food bag up top, so it made for a little adventure trying to find it. Alex loved helping his dad build the fire!
Sammy cruising down the zip line. She helped a the little kids get on & off safely.
Clara holding on tight. She did the for about an hour!
Alex and Samy roasting some bread...a yummy Swiss way of eating bread.
It was a fantastic day and one of my favorite Swiss days so far!
