Sweet, Sweet, Switzerland.

Switzerland ranks up there as one of the most fun countries we have visited and we owe it all to my mom.  She has been patiently awaiting her turn to do a country with us.  She pondered doing countries that begin with "D" since her name is Debbie, but D countries are very limited.  Ultimately, she decided to go with Switzerland and boy are we glad she did.  Because Switzerland is famous for Fondue and who doesn't love fondue???                                  
   Here is our journey to Switzerland.....
First we had to shop for our fondue ingredients AND a fondue pot.
Then we dipped and dipped to our hearts content.




Mini Zoie Photo shoot.....why not?
 We thought it would be fun to play a little prank on Adam.  So we poured these Jelly Beans into a bowl and asked him to guess the flavors.  It gave us a serious case of the giggles, the kind where tears run down your cheeks and your tummy hurts.  Ayden was bursting at the seams with the secret of the gross flavors.  Good thing Adam is such a good sport!
FUN FACTS:
  1. The first known recipe for cheese fondue dates back to 1699.
  2. Swiss Army knifes are red so they can be seen in the snow.
  3. There are no mosquitoes in Switzerland.
  4. It was once against the law to slam your car door.
  5. Our personal favorite....It is against the law to mow your lawn dressed like Elvis.  What?!

My mom is one of those instantly likeable people.  Not only is she a fantastic Nana but she is my very best friend and there isn't a single person on this planet who I have more fun being around.  Mom, you did a great job and we had So. Much. Fun!  I definitely think you need to do it again!!  Love you more!
