So for John's birthday we were fortunate to have some friends from church watch Hannah for a few hours, last Saturday, and John got to pick an activity. These same friends told us about a place to go sledding (the are from the UK so they say sledging, the Swiss say schlitten). This isn't your Iowa sledding hill. This is a 8km sledding trip down the mountain. Our friends let us borrow their car and it was less than a 30 minute drive away- definitely not doable in Iowa. To ensure safety, you must be equipped with a helmet and goggles! It was great fun, although John was more fond of the high speeds you could reach than I was :) The coffee at the bottom was also tasty, and a great way to warm up my really cold hands. We also took a train to Engelberg this weekend, but someone forgot the camera card at home so we will have to go again to share some pictures!! Have a great week.

Below is a picture from the web of Engelberg, we will definitely go again and take some of our own photos!
