Second full ski day!

The boys headed out this morning with Gaby for a second full day of skiing!  Gaby came back full of energy and headed straight down for more fun at Kids Club!  Trey came back exhausted (did a lot of snowboard runs) and Grant came back tired but elated that all the turning has finally kicked in.  Bill was doing fine!  They all went down to grab Gaby from Kids Club and all went swimming!  We hear it was a very successful ski school day and that everyone has improved greatly!

Mimi and I took Duffy back to the clinic for her scheduled recall appointment.  Her leg is swelling, thus preventing the healing of the wound.  The Dr. Wrapped her leg in an ace bandage so it would act like a compression bandage.  We kept her in all day with her legs elevated and it seems to be helping...

Tonight we went to a restaurant that our sitter, Nichole, recommended!  It's called La Berrasco.  It had the BEST ( hands down) Italian ravioli appetizer any of us has ever had.  This restaurant is a locals favorite and we totally understand  why.  Everything  is hand made and exceptional!  We didn't know until after we ordered that they do not accept credit cards!  But the owners were wonderfully accommodating and agreed to have the meal put on our hotel room at Badrutt's Palace!  Wonderful local restaurant. We got there early (6:30 pm) and had the place to ourselves.  By the time we left, the place was filled with customers and jumping!  

We ran into John today in our lobby.  He is out and about after having a titanium plate with 7 screws installed In his arm!  He is doing GREAT,  he had actually just finished a city tour with a group of tourists when we ran into him in our lobby.  We invited  him to have lun with us and had a delightful time with  him!  He kept us well informed on his surgery and was doing extraordinarily well!  


Everyone seems pretty well exhausted tonight and all are in bed before 9:30 am.---- Except KC, whose teeth are giving her a comfort problem!  Poor Annette!  I might mention that Mimi, Annette and I had massages today.  Wonderba!!!!  AND, to top the evening off, Annette met a friend from Panama in the elevator as we were leaving for dinner!  Small world doesn't begin to explain it!  


The "Heidi?" look!

The great local Italian restaurant!

At dinner...

Ready, set, GO!




Almost a whiteout!

Relaxing after hard day of skiing!

  1. I think Duffy wants a Swiss Saint Bernard Dog to come and make her better or is it a cute Swiss ski instructor? Sounds like next year you need another ski holiday to keep up the great lessons they are having. The pictures look like postcards - beautiful. The Italian restaurant is on my recommendation list!
