Lake Luguano, Luguano Switzerland

Luguano Switzerland is located just on the boarder of Italy in switzerland, so there is a italien influence in food and culture! We tried to escape the rainy, weather but it just followed us to Lake Luguano! The kids did really well with doing activites in the pouring rain!

The first activity we did was go to the Alprose Chocolate factory! It was like being in a Willy Wonka Factory! Because of the holiday, the workers were not working, but it was fun to imagine them being Umpa Lumpas! Of course, we sampled and bought chocolate! Both kids enjoyed looking at and climbing on the red/white cow outfront!

The next stop we made was the Miniswissminatur park. It showed different places in Switzerland, but they were mini! It was like being giants in the different Swiss Villages!It was also neat to see Switerzerland in this representation, so that we can decide on other travel opportunities.

After being at the miniswissminatur park, we headed to see Svitto Castle (Montebello)in Bellinzona,Switzerland Luckily, it was not raining there. It was fun to be able to climb around the castle and then run around the yard of the castle!

We then decided to go on a cable car ride. The sign at the cable car ride stated "memory loss" which stopped Mark and I in our tracks. We were not sure we wanted to ride the cable car with the memory loss, but then realized it was just the sign that was having memeory loss. This was our first time on a cable car! It was so cloudy from the rain that the car desended into the clouds, where Sarah asked if we were going to see God. It looked like we were going to disapear into heavan, since you couldn't see in front of you. Once on top, there were amazing views since we were above the clouds. There was a resturant to eat at and a play area for the kids to play on. What a fun experience!

Our hotel had an indoor pool, so relaxed each night in the pool before bed.What a great way to end the day!

Activities week at school!

Sarah just completed activity week where they got to do fun activities each day!

They started the week off by going to a bamboo forest. At the forest, they got to have a picnic lunch, take a walk, pet donkeys, and learned how to play a bamboo flute! Sarah had a great time!

Another day, they had pirates and princess day! Sarah dresssed up as Rapunzel! She had a great time being a princess at school for the day! They even got to go on a tressure hunt in the woods to find treasures!

What a great way to spend the week with fun activities each day!

Sports Day!

Sarah participated in sports day at school! Form 1 through 4 competed against eachother in races such as egg spoon race, running race, ball race,skipping rope race, sack race, etc. The girls competed against eachother. Sarah enjoyed it and it was fun to cheer on the yellow team and form 1. The yellow team won second place.

Juan Les Pin Yellow Subermine

The yellow subermine is called visiobulle. It is where they take you out to millioinaire bay(very exclusive estates) and then alllow you to go down below deck where there are windows so you can see fish, and sea life. It felt like being in a subermine! The kids really enjoyed it! It was a fun activity with grandma!

Juan Les Pins

Juan les Pins is a beach town that we have really enjoyed. We discovered a fun waterfront restaurant called Le Trident.

The first time we went, we had gone with my mom. It was nice to sit on the beach and have lunch! The restaurant has its own private beach, so its nice to swim in the water and play in the sand there. We went back to Le Trident and reserved their beach loungers! It was nice to relax on the beach with the service of good food and drinks! We all swam in the water and played in the sand! What a great way to spend a day!
