Travelog for: Birdt

Conrad left us for new adventures. Met a new friend! Cookie! We went to Denny's for girl's night out. The boys can go, too, but boys sit at a different table.

Getting ready for Relay for life!

A good meal from Lindy's is in order!

Luminaries were our favorite part!






A funny gag! Mesquite police were on hand to raise money! They'd arrest anyone you wanted...for a price!




Sunset was beautiful!

Its hard work!

resting between laps



after party @ Denny's!




We raised $225. Our team raised over $14k! and the event was a HUGE success!

It was a fun, exciting month!
Left Miss Kristy's car at the shop for an oil change. We walked to Grandy's to wait. It rained really heavily on us on the way back!




Another day, we had jack in the box at Kristy's aunt Carol's


We of course went to Denny's several times. We're regulars now!

we like storytime at Denny's. Miss Kristy's kids got her an ereader for Mother's Day.




We spent the 4th of July at Denny's too! We saw fireworks, but not so close as to hurt our ears!


























after the fireworks, we went back inside and ordered from the kids menu. Then, we colored the menu!


We really like chineese food, too!

Lindy's home cooking is a local favorite! Nolan 's Grammy was with us one day


The hot water heater broke! We went to the laundry mat. It was fun!






We went to see Kristy's Dad


We stopped at burgerking one day. The original chicken sandwich just isn't what it used to be!

We adored Island Burger!


Ghengis grill was fun! We picked ingredience with the same starting letters as our name, then Miss Kristy made a bowl adding a few ingredience of her own!

Salmonella Left us to go to Germany! We will miss the pink, but we are very excited for her!

I am headed  to new adventures in Switzerland! I am sad to go, but excited!!
As usual, we spent a lot of time at Denny's this month. We love it there. Especially when Mr. Jim is our server.








We had to drop by the bank, so a visit to The Corner Pocket in downtown Garland was in order!





Date night was spaghetti warehouse. YUM!





We went to Island Burger again, too

Grüezi Switzerland! I finally arrived at my new home. Let's start the adventure!





Irrggg, please let me out...

We made a boot trip today. The Lake Lucerne is fantastic! It was nice, because the weather was perfect!

We went to a book vernissage today. It was a very special one, because it was Globis Birthday. He could celebrate his 80. birthday today. Globi is a famous Swiss children book figur. He's very funny. The book vernissage was at Brunni. Brunni is a place above Engelberg.

















This is Globi:




Oh yes, we really had fun!






He's new book!

Hi, I like to show you the wonderful city of Lucerne. It's really a very beautiful city. ...let's have a look:

That's a very new building. It's the new University of Lucerne. It opend last year.



The beautiful Lake Lucerne...

...with one of its famous steamer.



The KKL (Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern).







The Wagenbach Fountain in front of the KKL.



The world famous Chapel Bridge (Kappelbrücke). The Chapel Bridge is a covered wooden footbridge spanning diagonally across the Reuss River. As part of the bridge complex, the Chapel Bridge includes the octagonal 43 m tall Wasserturm, which literally translates to "water tower". The Kapellbrücke almost burned down on August 18, 1993, destroying two thirds of its interior paintings. Shortly thereafter, the Kapellbrücke was reconstructed and again opened to the public on April 14, 1994 for a total of $2.1 million dollars








A very nice painted house. It's the Fritschi-House or also the "Swiss House of carnival". It tells not only Fritschi's history, it also reflects the Lucerne Carnival.



...and the Fritschi-fountain.




That was my city walk. I hope you enjoyed it.

We celebrated Maras first birthday today.



Yummiii, I really love the wonderful cake.

We had a fantastic soccer evening today. Switzerland played against Albania. It was a qualifiers game for WM 2014 in Brazil. I really enjoyed the game. ...Switzerland won 2:0!

We enjoyed a private Alphorn concert in Lucerne. Funny music!





...look at the video to hear the special sound!

We enjoyed the day at thr river Engelberger-Aa. I really loved to jump on the stones.















I need a break now...

We went to Melchsee-Frutt today. Melchsee-Frutt is a mountain resort village in Switzerland. The village is located near the lake Melchsee, in the municipality of Kerns, canton Obwalden. It has an elevation of 1920 meters. The main attractions of this resort are skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking and rock climbing. It can be reached by use of a gondola lift.

The Fruttli-Train...

We celebrated Cow's descent from Alpine today! I really enjoyed watching the beautiful cows.


The cows' descent from Alpine pastures gives rise to an impressive popular celebration. Having spent approximately four months on Alpine pastures, the beautifully adorned herds with their bells ringing rhythmically, together with the Alpine herdsmen in their traditional costumes, move back down to the valley. This popular celebration honors an ancient custom and keeps the tradition alive.



Cooking coffee...









Some nice pics without me:
