NCIS: Los Angeles star Eric Christian Olsen is enjoying a well-deserved summer break, and he’s sharing some stunning photos from a family vacation that took him, his wife Sarah, their three children, and a surprising guest, Twilight actress Nikki Reed, to Switzerland. In an Instagram post that captures the essence of their trip, Olsen shared a beautiful black-and-white collection of memories, stating, “A black and white recap of some of the most vibrant memories from Switzerland. Bags are already packed for round two!” The post, a collaboration between Olsen, Reed, and Sarah, offered fans a glimpse into the family’s adventures, from breathtaking train rides through the Swiss countryside on the Goldenpass Express to visits to sustainability initiatives focused on preserving the region’s natural beauty.
Throughout the trip, Olsen and his wife Sarah, who is a podcast host of The Mother Daze, were seen spending quality time with their three children: 11-year-old Wyatt, 8-year-old Esme Olivia, and 4-year-old Winter Story. In one charming photo, Wyatt, who seems to be taking after his father with his long blonde hair, is seen standing next to a calf, a serene moment on a Swiss farm. In another, Eric is pictured tossing his youngest daughter, Winter, in the air, showcasing a sweet father-daughter moment. Sarah also enjoyed the picturesque scenery of Switzerland, with one photo capturing her crouching near a well in the beautiful landscape.
The trip, which took place earlier in the summer, also included a family visit to Idaho. In Idaho, the Olsens were joined by Daniela Ruah, Olsen’s former NCIS: LA co-star, who played Kensi Blye, and is also family in real life—she’s married to Eric’s brother, David Paul Olsen. The two families, who have remained close over the years, were photographed together as they spent time bonding with their children. Daniela shared a fun Instagram compilation of the group’s summer activities, which included photos of both couples with their kids—Daniela’s children, River and Sierra, joined the Olsens for this family adventure.
Eric and Sarah’s children will soon return to school, but the memories of their summer travels are sure to stay with them. This latest family vacation marks yet another chapter in the close-knit relationship between the Olsen family and their extended NCIS family. From their early days on set of NCIS: Los Angeles, where Eric played matchmaker for Daniela and David, to their personal and professional connections today, the bond between the two families is as strong as ever. Eric and Sarah, who met in 2006 while working on The Loop, married in 2012, and together they’ve built a beautiful family, with their shared love for adventure and meaningful connections reflected in these memorable vacation moments.
