SWITZERLAND. The land of overpriced french fries and beautiful scenery.

AAAAnd we're off on the first leg of our trip.  We headed out to Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland early on Saturday morning and made it there by the early evening (we would have been there earlier had Matt chosen to use his good sense rather than listen to our possesed GPS...scenic drives are nice though.  I guess.)  Anways, I LOVE Switzerland.  Love love love.  It's still probably my favorite place we've been since we've lived here.  We went camping in Lauterbrunnen last summer and loved it, so we were really excited to bring Lara and Steve to see this beautiful town we had discovered.  They loved it as much as we did.  I know you might find it strange that there are way more pictures of Lara and Steve on this post than us, but because we'd been there before and gotten a lot of pictures...I stayed on the picture-taking end of the camera for the most part.  Plus, I seem to have gained 10 lbs in my face and every picture I see of myself makes me cringe.  You get the idea. 

These were some very friendly swiss cows.  They could sit, stay, speak, roll over.  All around I'm pretty sure they'd make great pets.....if it wasn't for that smell.

Lara and Steve in the amazing valley of Lauterbrunnen.

You KNOW pictures are way cooler when there are people jumping in them.  We all know this.

This is the artsy side of me coming out.  Steve's Mom is a great painter....I'm hoping I can bribe her to paint this for me.  :) 

Lovely Lara by the Swiss flag.

One of Matt's FAVORITE things to do is get parasites by drinking water from all kinds of random places.  Just kidding, he didn't get a parasite.  He DID however get a delicious drink of mountain spring water.

I don't know what Matt's problem is with this picture.  He hates it.  I love it.  And since it's MY blog, I get to put it up here.

Lara and Steve being my models.  :)

"I GOTTA have more cow bell!"  hahaha.  Please tell me you know where that quote is from.

Handsome, handsome hubby.  I love him.  I love him so much.

Rick Steve's TOLD us that if we knocked on this door, the lady would give us free cheese.  Rick Steves is a liar.  Lara only wanted some cheese, is that SO much to ask??

The view of the valley from a cable car.  I was borderline terrified being manuvered across this valley on a cable holding a box car filled with 50 people.  Those swiss people are nutso. 

So there's my favorite Swiss pics.  Up next.....VENICE.
