This was when we drove over the pass between Italy and Switzerland. It was a really gorgeous place. We got a flat tire when Brett ran over a peg-thingee. So we got to play around on the mountainside while he fixed it. This is the day we went up Pilatus (a cool mountain). Going up. Unfortunately, not much of a view, since it was enveloped entirely in a cloud. But kinda cool anyway. The cable that leads to nothing. We saw two ibex on the next mountaintop. This is when we went to Luzern. While the kids were feeding bread to the ducks and swans, I kept telling them they should try feeding them right out of their hands. Well, Hazel did, and then cried when the swan bit her. It was pretty crazy and very funny. That girl is awesome. She’ll try anything.
Swiss gorgeousness, driving home through the Interlaken region. It is such a BEAUTIFUL place. This is from our own little Bern. A very kind official came and said Hazel should get down, but I could take a picture first. This is from the cheese factory at Gruyere.Where we watched them make a LOT of cheese. Of the gruyere variety. We all got free samples (free meaning included in the expensive entry price). Lots of cheese. Cute little clock. One funny story I remembered- when we were in Salzburg we went to a nice restaurant. It took quite a long time for our orders to arrive, and so even though I took Talmage outside for awhile, he still had a hard time waiting. At one point he got up and started going out, so I got up to get him. He started running, and since he had quite a lead on me, I started running a bit too. Then I tripped on a rug and fell flat on my face. Everybody on that side of the restaurant saw me. It was highly embarrassing. Later, when Brett and I were driving I asked him if he still loved me even though I had been such a klutz. He said, “I love you more, for being such good entertainment.” :)

This is the first post that made me want to travel. Man, I'm homesick for Waterton Park. Is that even possible? Can you be homesick from a place you lived in such a short time? I don't care. I claim homesickness for mountains and green. I think I'm coming to visit you. Except I would have to get on an airplane. I think I'm going to Canada.
so excited to go to waterton next week! hehe. not much compared to Switzerland, but still pretty nice!
