Ski The Swiss Alps.......check!

K.C. was able to check another item off his bucket list this week when he finally got a chance to ski the Swiss Alps! K.C. works with a lady at the airport who is from Switzerland and has family that live in a small town in the Alps and run a hotel and restaurant. When K.C. told her that he has always wanted to ski the Alps, she set him up with a place to stay at her family's hotel if he took over 2 big bags of ski jackets for her family to sell at their hotel gift shop. K.C. jumped on the offer and a week later was on his way to Switzerland with his dad.

K.C.'s passport just expired so he had to fly to San Francisco a few days before they left to renew his passport at the passport office, then on Monday afternoon they flew 11 hours to Paris, then 2 more hours to Zurich, then a 3 hour train ride deep into the Alps, arriving into the town of Grindelwald at 9:00pm on Tuesday.....thats a long ways to go for one day of skiing!

The boys had a great trip and were taken well care of by the Brawand family (they let them stay and even eat at their restaurant for free!). K.C. had an amazing time skiing, and Chuck enjoyed just hanging out. On Thursday they took the train and flight back to Paris, and spent the night there. Chuck had never been to Paris, so K.C. took him to the Eiffel Tower for some delicious crepes.

On friday they flew home from Paris.....just another successful adventure for the Anderson boys!


K.C. brought some Swiss Beanies home for his two favorite girls!
