	Yesterday and today we have been staying in a chalet HP has available to employees. It is located in Les Diablerets, which is a ski resort (during the winter). This is a very nice way to rest for the last few days of our vacation.
	Here is one of many views from the chalet. The snow-covered mountains climb up on all sides. We can sit outside and listen to cow bells across the valley. A small village sits below. The stars glow like diamonds at night. Retirement, anyone?
	Spending a few days in the great outdoors, the kids can't help but investigate everything along the way to the village. The rock wall in the background is similar to the ones that form farm terraces on steep mountainsides here.
	We passed some of the time assembling 3D puzzles of some buildings we have seen on this trip. Clue: the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the toughest of the four seen here. (This picture also gave us a chance to try out the camera "time delay" shutter!)
	The chalet is has many more amenities than what we're used to in the rustic cabins at HP's Estes Park facility. Along with a sauna, there is a very large game room. Here is Sara practicing her backhand.
