Switzerland

Here are some more pictures of our trip to Switzerland to pick Kelly up from her mission! We had a really fun time! Super exhausting but totally worth it. I took 500 pictures so these are just little nibbles of the fun. This is the whole crew, minus the top of Dads head, in front of a church by a castle.
Danny, Jamie and Jakob
The castle (well... at least one of them)

Jakob really really loves his daddy

Our minute in France

The Roman ruins

Kelly drinking out of one of the many fountains

In Interlaken

The Kandersteg International Scout Camp where we stayed for a few nights and got about a foot of new snow adding to the other couple feet. Awesome!!
The lake at Interlaken

A church in Wengen



Glaciers

Fun times in the car... there was A LOT of car time

Riding the gondola up to see the Matterhorn

The Matterhorn!! The real one!

Riding the car train. Fun! but kinda creepy.

Milan!!

There were some very beautiful buildings in Milan, Italy and the weather was perfect considering that that morning at the scout camp we had to scrape off about 6 inches of snow off the cars.

The crazy imaculate church that apparently had over 190 gargoyles

Eating at a little cafe

Real Italian gelato

Jakob in his favorite blue snow suit

Neuswanstein (spelling?) castle

King Ludwig's house

King Ludwig's parents house

Walking back to the cars

Hi kelly!

Oh geez!

Dachau Concentration Camp. The entrance to the camp was changed to this side in 2004 when they found the road and tracks which was the path that the prisoners walked to enter the camp.



That was the previous entry

Current entrance. On the gate it says "work makes free." Hmmmm.... interesting

The GPS lady was taking us home and led us to a ferry so that's why Jake is driving... because we are parked on the boat


Jakob and Kaylee the cute babies before our fun hike with the Klaumunsners

The view of the valley from the top of the tower

Me Jake and Kelly on the tower. Dude my legs burned going up especially with the extra 20ish pounds on my back

The tower we climbed. just twist your head a little bit

Jake wearing Kelly's sweet glasses

Weighing the luggage

now time to actually close the luggage... hehe

Welcome Home Kelly!! We made this the weekend before we left to Switzerland.
Fun times were had by all. If any of you all want to see the complete library of the trip, just let me know!

How fun. I am so glad that you took so many pictures, how beautiful. Someday, maybe I will get to go to Europe too. When did you get home? What is new? I am thrilled to hear you moved offices, does it mean less commute time?
