What a fun 2 days at Europa-Park. We stayed 1 night and Mateo was thrilled to be at an amusement park AND we were staying in a hotel! Mateo went on a lot of rides and really enjoyed himself and Jose and I took advantage of the Child-Swap so we could ride the coasters :) This is located in Germany

We went to the Swiss Transportation Museum. One of Mateo's favorite museums in Switzerland. Took some pictures - trying out the new 35mm prime lens and the pop-up flash difuser.

Pics from our trip to Lugano, Switzerland. We went to Swiss Miniature the first day and then went to a park for Mateo to play after the long car ride. Sunday, we went up the funicular to the top of San Salvatore and then we hiked down. The hike was a little more than we expected but Mateo was a real trooper and finished with energy to spare. After we took the Lugano city tour on a train looking vehicle that Mateo thought was really cool and then we had dinner followed by Gelati and a rain storm. We spent Monday at the Botanical garden and had a wonderful Italian lunch which Mateo didn't eat anything other than an apple because he's more picky than Kate! Then we went back into Lugano, had some more Gelati and rented a boat. All was going great until the propeller stopped working and we were stuck with no phone number to the rental place. Someone on shore noticed something wasn't right for us and called the Marina police and Jose go tthe number to information from a co-worker and then proceeded to call the rental place. Of course, they tried to tell us we did something wrong but of course we did not! Jose had to use the ore in the boat to keep us from crashing in to the side rock wall and then the Police came (which Mateo thought was the absolute coolest!) and the rental boat people and they towed us back to shore. They told us to get out of the boat before we sank it (yes, they were beyond rude but customer service isn't very big here). We had a good laugh about it and then we took a detour through Italy around Lake Maggiore, a car ferry ride and back into Switzerland to home.

The ski school didn't offer lessons in the afternoon so Jose and I tried to give Mateo our own little lesson although it was quite hard. We did our best and Mateo did really well even though he only went down the bunny slope once. He happily went to the supervised play place and played all afternoon while we got the chance to ski ourselves.

Some pictures we took in the snow covered field near the house we rent in Samstagern. Mateo loves to play with the snow, and loves to throw snow balls for Daphne - and she loves to try and catch them mid-air... There is one picture where Daphne caught a giant snowball while jumping.

Mateo was quite the trooper on this trip. We went to Spain to visit my folks and then to Switzerland on a cultural awareness trip to decide whether or not we should move there because of my job.
