Toboggan Park

It was Emily's birthday so she got to choose the day's activities.  We started at the Toboggan Park - conveniently located in our 'home' village of Leysin. 

After a few hours on the toboggan slopes, we went next door to the Sports Centre and did some ice skating.

The little girls have never tried ice skating before so the nifty red PVC-pipe apparatus came in handy as they got used to it.

After skating, we played at the indoor pool for a while, then went to dinner at a Creperie.

Back to the apartment that evening for more puzzles and games, then birthday cake (pannetone) and Movenpick ice cream ($10/litre!!!!!)

During dessert Emily pointed out that she has had her last several birthdays in fairly exotic locations.  Age 2 = Montana; Age 3 = Scotland; Age 4 = San Francisco; Age 5 = Switzerland.  She asked "Where will I be for my birthday next year?"

Hopefully somewhere with cheaper ice cream!
