Signal de Bougy - A day at the park!

We enjoyed a sunny Swiss day at Signal de Bougy in Bougy-Villars! An immense park of 42 hectares above Aubonne, about 25 min from home. As you will see, the views were spectacular over Lake Geneva and the Swiss and French Alps. We could literally see from one end of the lake to the other - an even the jet d'eau in downtown Geneva about 35 miles away. Kellen and Devan enjoyed mini-golf, numerous outdoor park structures, a mini- F1 track, bumper boats, a small zoo, and even a clown show (in French of course!).

Around the Neighborhood and Boating in Annecy, France

Kellen has quickly become a biker! We now enjoy daily rides. Devan has mastered his tricycle as well and pedals along furiously!

Kellen and Devan's new school - College Du Leman!

Annecy, France, a beautiful city about 45 min from Geneva. The water was incredibly blue as you can see and is surrounded by the Rhone Alps. We rented a small boat and took a cruise around Lake Annecy. But first, the boys test the waters on the carousel boat, then onto to the bigger machinery ...

"Ay, Ay Captain" ... as Kellen enjoys the view from the bow of the boat!

Oh yea - Kellen was driving! Hang on!

Kick-off to Summer - Yvoire, France then to the Kiddie Pool

Well the summer has kicked off here in Geneva, at least we hope so anyway! Our thermometers have shot up to 85+ degrees the past few days so we are well on our way to a beautiful summer. We enjoyed a nice, hot Sunday with a ferry ride from Nyon, Switzerland (15 min. drive north from our home) to Yvoire, France. Our boat ride was a short 20 min trip across Lake Geneva but the boys loved it and the breeze felt wonderful. In Yvoire we enjoyed lunch on a terrace while taking in views of the serene lakeside and the very quaint, medieval town. We returned home to the first poolside splash in our backyard!


Yvoire, France...

Cooling his feet in Lac Leman!

Think the boys had fun in this shop?!

Flowers, flowers everywhere!
