We started off May with a trip to the Bern, Switzerland temple. We took our good friend Cinzia to get her endowments. The Temple was wonderful, of course. It was a neat thing for me to be escort for Cinzia. David and I took turns in the temple and with the kids. When David was in the temple the boys played on the temple grounds.
We were there all of Thursday and Friday and each day we took a little trip to see more of Switzerland. Thursday we all went to a little zoo with a fun playground (not so Swtizerlandy, but remember we had little boys with us who needed entertaining). We could have used Dad Moss, Todd, or Jacob to help us with German communication, but we did okay (smile, show the money, okay).
On Friday we went to Emmental--the home of original Emmental (Swiss) cheese. The drive was so awesome with charming farm houses and pretty cows on rolling hills of grass. We saw how the cheese was made and got to taste some (none of us particularly care for it, but the experience was still fun!).
The drive home on Saturday (about 6 1/2 hours) was so gorgeous through Switzerland. Huge mountains, farms, many waterfalls. We loved it.
