The next day, we got a late start with the intent of climbing the Kaiseregg again, BUT it looked a little stormy on top. Instead, we turned off the road to Schwartzee toward a little 'hill' that we always notice and believe to be so 'cute'...just see see if there was some way to 'stroll' up it. We did find it...but it turned out to be a pretty good sized little hill with a great observation deck up top. We also now know the name of the cute little hill...the Guggershorn...and apparently it's famous and the subject of many a folksong (I'll have to get a picture of it from a distance sometime so I can post it on here.)
The 3rd day, we spent exploring the Lake Geneva shore...this time walking West from Vevey. You really can't go wrong there on a nice day! In any direction, there's something fun for kids and adults... the scenery alone is enough for me. But we came upon fountains for swimming (not prepared for it with suits or anything, but lots of kids weren't... kids just stripped down and jumped in.) Parks, really nice parks are no further than a kilometer apart. Swans and birds to feed. Cyclers, roller bladers, dogs, popsicle stands, boat rides...just endless entertainment. Oh, carousels and free circuses by 8 - 12 year old kids...forgot about those. Anyway, no time on Lake Geneva has ever been boring for any of us. Pictures from it are near the end of this...
Baby Will...not quite 2 months old.
Kacey entertaining Will.
Princess nightgowns... very helpful for motivating them to get ready for bed!
Dave and Will
The initial 'ascent' up the Guggershorn... a nice fern covered 'forest.'
The forest lead to a nice field.
flowers, flowers, flowers...
breaking into a cow pasture... can't do a hike without it.
Me with Kacey and Will...
Dave and the girls at the top.
Lots of people up top spoke English...not unusual, but still surprising. A nice man offered to get a family picture of us. Here we are...
An applesauce break on a log.
Have walking stick, will walk.
Signs at the top...listing all of our options. Which way should we walk for fondue?
I'm just dying to roll down this hill...pleeeeeeeaaaase!
Okay, go for it...
Baby Will...
...just being a baby...
Cambelle and Dave near Vevey.
A rocky beach...
One of the parks we walked upon...
... and it's giant 'fountain'... which equals 'pool' for the kids.
And another park...
Kacey, riding a horse to 'Germany.'
In case it's not obvious, a slide...
And another fountain! I'll spare you from having to see another picture of them eating popsicles!
