Easter eggs

S shows off her masterpiece of the night.

Our supplies. Notice the colors!

Cherry blossoms

Last week the littles and I went to Frick to see the cherry blossoms. It was just a nice easy walk with pretty views. T wants to go back when the cherries are ripe. I was afraid that the kids would get a little bored, but there was plenty to interest them along the way.

Extra pictures from museum and Uetliberg

UPDATE: S and T have added pictures to their posts about the 

Swiss Transport Museum and Uetliberg. These pictures are just extras!

S finally gets up close to a real Saint Bernard. 

Uetliberg

Post by S:

Today we went to Uetliberg for the planet hike. It was a scale model of the solar system with different balls to represent planets. It had beautiful views, and there was a big tower you could climb up and get the best views in the world. Just don't look up when you are at the top or you are going to be nauseated.   R and I climbed up with T and T got scared. Mama and L were waving up to us at the top and we could see them. We waved back.

At the beginning there was a playground that the littles couldn't get enough of. There was a mini chair swing that L and T loved. You have to shove in a franc and run out before the thing starts spinning. I didn't do it, I let Mama do it. I didn't want to accidentally get kicked in the head by one of the littles.

We didn't go the whole way because it was really far and L was not being the fastest walker. Sometimes she'd just stand there pouting and wouldn't even get in the stroller. If I were her I'd be happy to get in the stroller. We stopped at Jupiter where there was a field of dandelions and other flowers. T said it was "Dandyland." We laid in the grass. I thought I might be able to roll down the hill but the grass was lumpier than it looked.

The hike was very very very beautiful. We decided not to go forward because we were afraid by the time we got there the gondola might have stopped running. Mama forgot her phone, so we couldn't look it up. Good thing we didn't go because at the train station Mama noticed that the gondola was closed for maintenance anyway.

We'll put some pictures up later. Surprisingly, I didn't take any, considering how beautiful the view was. We had a picnic, too. It consisted of American favorite muffins, grapes, luxembourgli, and suspicious water fountain water.

Swiss Transport Museum

This is just a small post from T telling about our day yesterday. Pictures will have to come later because E is in charge of downloading:

Yesterday we went to the museum. I want to talk about the helmet I was wearing. I love helmets. It was yellow. I had to wear it because there were rocks and I was digging and the rock might hit my head. They was a big construction work place where kids can go. There were trucks that can roll things and scoop things. And there were wheelbarrows and shovels. I was checking out the trucks and they didn't really work I had to pretend.

I did a bungee jumping. And I was being an engineer on a train. That's the person who drives. And I was driving an airplane.

This is all three of us jumping.

There was a pirate ship. I wore a hat and swords. All pirates need swords and hats. Other pirates had different hats. Even L. And even R and S. We had sword fights and they weren't real swords just pretend because real will hurt you. S walked the plank.

We saw cars on shelves. And S was the winner. The robot got down her car and it was cool. The robot turned it around so we can see all around it. The yellow was S's car and my car was red. They didn't get my car down, but I liked S's. And I played with the wooden cars upstairs.

These look like toy cars on the shelf

We took a ferry to the museum. I was sitting in the back next to the big flag. The ferry was going very fast. It was a big ferry. We could see water like a tornado and the city and the mountains were pretty.

I rode on a scooter. And that's all.

This Migros truck is a grocery store inside.
