Pizza and ice cream

It all just happens faster than we can post about it!

We went up to the Pfänder on Sunday morning. This is a mountain in Bregenz where Hannah and David's good friends Claudia and Alexander live. It's a very busy and popular tourist spot.

We jumped on trampolines. We looked at animals. We had a fantastic view of the Bodnesee. We had a great lunch at the restaurant up there. Then we brought Clauida and Alexander back down the mountain with us to the Burger house for a swim.

On Monday the Pfänder crew came back for more swimming, and Rachel made an ice cream sundae party for the kids.

Eleanor, Mike and I ventured into town to visit the art museum and a quick happy hour glass of proseco. When we arrived back at the house we found a pizza party already in progress.

Today we will head up another mountain (imagnie that)--this time via train rather than cable car.

Mike, catch up!

Here a some photos taken by Mike over the last few days.

We hung around Bregenz. Of course one of the first things we did was eat lunch.


We then took a little tour of the Museum. One of the objects we saw was a object found in Hannah's backyard.











There was also an exhibit of gold including this object which was about 3ft across.

Of course then we needed another break.












Hannah enjoyed her break.

We brushed by a little culture. Don't worry none of it brushed off on us.









Eleanor and Hannah pause for a minute on the walk back home.










We watched the sun go down







Then checked out the neighbor's pool.

Wochenende

Friday was Rachel's birthday, and we celebrated Marie Antoinette style with cake and champagne. For breakfast.

Rachel and Andreas headed out right after breakfast to spend two nights in the mountains, and that left Mike, Eleanor, and me in charge. Oh, I know what you're thinking, but we've done this before. We can handle it. See?



Friday we just hung around the house and swam. Then it rained in the afternoon, so we moved the party inside. Mike worked on a DVD project for Rachel's birthday. Eleanor, Hannah, Jake, and I watched High School Musical 2.

Today is Saturday and we are heading out to enjoy the sunshine and cooler temperatures. We're going to climb a tower, work our way into downtown Bregenz for a pizza lunch and maybe ice cream (if Jake has his way--which he usually does). We're getting a baby sitter tonight, and Mike, Eleanor and I will be having a grown ups' night out in town.





Here's Mike doing what Mike does so well. "One, two, and..."


Now we're walking to the tower.



Jacob's ready for action!

Waiting for pizza.



The guys.
