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.

Seilpark again

Today Lara and I went and got gipfeli (croissant-type things) from the bakery for breakfast, and then hopped in the car with aunt Claudia and uncle Ralph. We drove an hour or so to a seilpark (the same one I went to with my german class this past summer!) where we met up with my uncles brother, which is technically also my uncle, I guess. Idk. That's weird.
Anyways, we met up with him and his three kids and went climbing and ziplining around in the trees. It was super fun. Apparently I cannot keep myself from shaking when I get up high, though. It's really weird. I'm not scared of heights at all, but i start shaking like crazy. At least I learned something new today.
After that, we ate ice cream at a little restaurant thing and drove back home. On the way home the sun was so gorgeous; I took a zillion pictures.
