Bonjour from Colmar

Last weekend, Stephen and I joined our friends for a day trip to France!

Our friends have a vlog, 

so we decided to let them take the reigns 

on documenting our adventures. 

France is beautiful. 

I actually craved macarons for days after.   

So the ladies had a macaron making party.
Recipe HERE.

5 hours later, we had dozens to feast on.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I think I will go eat one now :)

While the Girls are Away, the Boys Play!

Last weekend Stephen and I split up for different adventures!

WOMEN: 

The stake Relief Society put on a Women's Weekend in Lenzerheide. 

All weekend we played in the Alps, 

spent hours at the spa, 

knit scarves with our arms, 

rehearsed choral music, 

and ate yummy food.

Oh and we took pictures.  

Well... mostly pictures of silly Ali in a gorgeous place ;)

MEN: 

The men took a slightly different approach with an 

all-night hike in the mountains. 

If that wasn't enough to inspire male bravado, 

they carried torches. 

*This is all I got picture-wise.  Men aren't good about taking pictures. And it was night - go figure.*

We both had a lot of fun, 

but we were glad to be home together at the end of the weekend.
