Skiing Fun!

A few weeks ago we ventured off to Engelberg, Switzerland for a skiing adventure.  We had visited this same place last year with our former neighbors and loved it...so we were definitely excited to go back!  We went with a big group of friends and rented a great apartment for the weekend.  The trip was a blast filled with skiing, wine, incredible views, lounging and relaxing and more wine! Our friend, Mel and I were definitely the beginner skiers so we decided to take a lesson to help refresh our skills on the slopes. : )  It was probably a good thing that we did.  Since according to our super skier friends...skiing even the easy hills in the Alps is a lot more difficult than skiing in the states.  All in all an awesome weekend with some great friends!  We already have plans to schedule a similar trip for next year!

Fun times on the lift!


Looking good guys!


A little mid-ski break....

And relaxing.



Amazing views

Our favorite break spot had outdoor loungers






The local monastery in town



Coming down on the lift

Is anyone surprised that Tom asked for a bib at dinner?




Mel and I ready for our ski lesson!


Can you see us about halfway up the mountain?

Here we come...no falls yet!



Apparently I was excited about making it down without falling


We loved our ski instructor, Martin!



A girls day for R&R!



Such breathtaking scenery!
