Jungfrau: Tope of Europe!

Although it was a cloudy day, we decided to stick to our plan of going up to the Jungfrau. After almost 10 km of riding the train through a tunnel carved out of the rockface, we reached the cloudy summit - and a snowstorm! Jasper loved the ice palace which was carved inside the glacier, and throwing snowballs at all of us!

First Day above Wengen

Lynnedi & Nono took us on the most wonderful trip this past week. We took the train from Rougemont to Wengen (involving 4 changes!) and stayed in a wonderful chalet looking out onto the glacier Jungfrau. The day we arrived we took the gondola up one of the cliff faces & took in the dramatic views. Jasper was cold, and had to put on mummies (acutally Auntie Britt's!) jacket.

The rocket

We discovered over the course of the year that hammocks can be used very creatively & fuel any little (or big for that matter!) mind's imagination. Blankets figure highly in this equation, and usually they create a cosy "rocket" where we blast off from planet to planet. It can get a bit stuffy at times. It is a little sad to think our beach house days have drawn to an end....

Fishing in the "boat"

Last weekend at the beach house & Heather full of bright ideas. Including a fishing trip on the most comfy boat EVER! My question is whether her imagination was fueled by the home-grown caipirinhas made with limes off our resident tree....?

Tucking them in...

Jasper insists on tucking his little friends to bed. They look so cosy!

Hot Wheels!

Nothing like a day at the mall! The Hot Wheels promotion was great for our little racer...

T.G.I.F.

On the way to school Friday, I taught Jasper what T.G.I.F. stands for. He was super-keen and seemed to catch on right away. A few minutes later at school he told the teacher what T.G.I.F. meant: "Oh my God it's Saturday"!
