Happy Birthday, Dominic!

Today was a half day, and I went running with Lara and ate cake with Dominic for his 17th birthday:) It was a good day. 

Also, if you are under the age of 30 and/or have access to the Internet, you most likely know by now that Zayn Malik officially left One Direction. I am having so much fun going through literally any social media site and seeing posts and videos of girls absolutely freaking out. 

Last day of skiing

Today was our last day of skiing, tomorrow we have to drive home... But it was really fun here and it went by so fast. The only thing that bothered me was how much ice there was, because I'm not comfortable skiing on ice and then I look ridiculous with my skis far apart trying not to fall down... But oh well.:) Something funny is that at the beginning of the week the boys were always waiting for Lara and I because we were slower than them, but by today we were the ones waiting for them...

ICE & night skiing!

Today was a bit colder than yesterday, but that meant that most of the runs were icy. Very icy, in my opinion. Everyone else thought I was crazy and that this was perfect weather. But I'm used to better snow at the price of lower temperatures... Oh well.

Today we came home early so we could get some rest before going night skiing! I'd never been, but it was super fun. They put more snow on the runs so the ice wasn't bad at all, and there were fewer people. Also it's just generally really cool to ski at night. But what's really scary is that I didn't notice how fast I was going. It was only when I tried to slow down or stop that I realized I was going way faster than I normally do. It was cool and creepy at the same time. 

 Tomorrow is our last day of skiing! I'm sad... It's really neat here, and I love skiing and won't get to do it again until next year. But we still have one more week of vacation! :)

Warm day & friends

Today was quite warm, which I found really weird. Because I generally associate skiing with freezing temperatures. But it was also really nice, and Lara and I took some cool pictures:)

Tonight we went to a restaurant in town and us "kids" (me, Lara, Dominic, and Joshua) wanted to stay later, so my aunt and uncle just went home and left us there. It was really fun because we spent two hours laughing at stupid pictures and telling stories and it's so fun to make a new friend. I'm excited for the few days we have left here in Sedrun.✌️

Skiing & tubing

This morning Lara and I walked down about 40 feet to the bakers and got gipfeli (croissants) for breakfast. Here that's a totally normal thing to do but for us in America it's just weird. But it's also really cool to have fresh baked breakfast so close to your front door. :) 

Today we went skiing again as usual and in the afternoon went tubing down a mini ski slope thing. It was super fun and Lara and I almost slid off the slope... And the boys decided to switch and try snowboarding or skiing (whichever one they hadn't done before) and it was super hilarious to watch. We're already halfway through our time here in Sedrun, it's crazy how time flies. 

Chegle

Today we went skiing all day again :), and then after dinner we went Swiss bowling, called "chegle". It was really fun, even though I'm generally horrible at bowling... But here they use heavier balls (I think) with different holes for your fingers (one for your thumb and one for the rest of your fingers) the lane is shorter, and the pins are set up different. It was weird. For me. 

Skiing!

Today we went skiing for the first time this week :) It was super fun, and I really really reallyyy missed skiing. There weren't even that many people! And I'm really looking forward to this next week. This is the view from the middle of the run, where we are staying is in the little collection of houses right behind the chairs on the lift.
