Grimentz, Switzerland
This was a beautiful village. Part of the old town was roped off from cars so it was great to just let the kids run wild and explore. You can't really see from these pictures, but most of the buildings were up on stilts. We wondered if it was due to problems with flooding from the spring run off, but we were told it was to keep the mice out of the housess
We planned for one more hike, but the kids were hungry and Ava was exhausted (no nap) so ended up driving up to the lake and having a picinic lunch. Amazing what P & J can do to raise your spirits!
Evolene, Switzerland
On our last touring day, we stopped for a delicious fondue lunch in Evolene (a darling little village). You can not come to Switzerland without having fondue (of course we are a little obsessed with fondue so you know .....) Well, perhaps I should clarify, Kevin and I had fondue and the kids had pizza and chicken nuggets. Wish we could get them to eat fondue - grilled cheese sandwiches they like and this is just about the same, but the cheese is on the outside of the bread ... so cheesy and fabulous! The best part was that there was a small playground on the vicinity. So the kids had a blast playing while waiting for our food, and Kevin and I actually had a chance to have a somewhat of an adult conversation that did not revolve around Webkinz or Barbies.
Wait a minute. We're missing someone. Dad? Oh yeah, he's the guy that is always behind the camera. Where's Lauren? Lauren?
There she is.
We were amazed at how the firewood was neatly stacked. It was too beautiful to not be considered art and prime candidate for a photo opp.
A sweet little pension and restaruant - the flower boxes were amazing.
Took a picture of this beauty as we were coming down the mountain from our chalet. It is even smaller than a smart car if you can imagine. It was a one seater, but she had her dog seated next to her traveling at a whoppin '10 kilometers per hour.

Nice post, Marnie.
the firewood picture was very pretty considering it was just a woodpile. It looks so inviting! Love the picnic pic.
What a fun places your family is getting to visit. I am so jealous! The kids are getting so big.
Oh this made me so hungry for fondue! I can't see fondue without thinkin' of you and Kev. :) You all look great! Love and miss you guys!
Don't tell me this was during the Christmas holidays! It looks too warm!
Looks like you had the time of your life! So jealous! Tell Kevin I want the picture of the lake with the purple flowers! Love you guys!
Amazing! I am so jealous! And how troubling that they had to put the houses on stilts to keep the mice out. I forgot how much you guys like fondue. Will you email me your fav recipes when you have a chance? mindysterzer@msn.com. Just whenever you have time... no rush. I love to go out for fondue, but I haven't figured out how to do it at home yet. I have a nice fondue pot, though. Anyway, I am trying a cheese fondue recipe tomorrow night... we'll see how it goes. :)
I wish I was sitting there with you eating the fondue too. Miss yall!
This makes me want to go back! Thanks for sharing.
I honestly am jealous! I try not to be, really I do, but I just cannot help it! I am so jealous! OH!!! I cannot wait for our trip out there! I am so looking forward to it! You guys have quite an amazing life! And your family is so beautiful too!
