Energy Break

Last week, Felix and I went skiing with all his siblings (plus his brother's girlfriend), his dad, my parents, and two friends from school. It was so great to be in beautiful mountains and have a break from life in the city!
the incredible view from the slopes

all the skiers (minus the photographer, me)

playing on the suspension bridge that was right beside the gondola station
