Hiking in Mürren

Off another adventure.  Erin had to work so Nate joined us for the day (boys and Dan still at Boys' Camp)
Nate's baguette purchase at the beginning of the hike.  Great investment since it kept him entertained and sated for hours.

We hiked the Kids Adventure Trail which kept us busy along the way.

Can you hear the bells, too?
Another little find along the trail.

Up or down?
At the top of Almendhübel, another playground and a special foot experience.  Not exactly sure of the  purpose, other than the sign said it was exhilarating to walk on the different textured walks and then in the trough of very cold water at the end of the course.  It was actually very warm and it was really exhilarating.

A variety of Edelweiss
It was another wonderful adventure.  The train back was packed and very hot so we dropped our bags, changed our clothes, picked up another one of our guests, Rick, and headed to the Aare for 3 runs down the frigid waters (actually the temperature hit 20 C).  Returned to raclette that Nathan and Jolene, another guest prepared for us.  Great day!
