Visit from Tex and Melissa

We had our first visitors in 9 months back in April. Tex, Melissa and Maggie decided to come visit us again this year. It was fun to see them and see how much Maggie has grown and changed in one short year. Tom and Tex enjoyed squeezing in a ski outing before all the snow melted. Right before they left, we all went to Lucerne together for the day. The weather was perfect for site-seeing and it was nice to spend the day together.

Tex and cute Maggie after dinner one night. Note the candle burning in the lower right corner... Maggie insited that we burn them and then took great pleasure in blowing them out after we were finished.

One of the famous wooden Lucerne bridges.

The Lion Monument in Lucerne. It was sculpted to remember the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution in 1792. I really liked it.

Taking a break with Melissa while Maggie picked flowers.

Thanks for coming, guys! Maybe we'll see you again next year :)
