A Sauna, Jacuzzi and Bar Dog...

Later that afternoon, it was time for the boys to fire up the cute barrel sauna for our use after we took a walk into the village of Les Houches, home to under 3,000 residents.

Luckily the road was clear and not too slippery.

It was a pretty sleepy village, but it did have a cool Santa...

...and a pretty church.

Veronica had stayed behind to work on her dissertation, but Ashlynn continued with us on a longer walk than the rest of the group. On our way back we stopped for a drink at the town’s only pub and met this super friendly bar dog.

She was so friendly that she surprised us by jumping up onto our laps.

Jimmy and Vivynne usually cooked dinners together, while Tony and I were on cleaning duty and the kids hid in the hot tub.
