More fun with Zoe…

Here she is licking her lips while trying to figure out how to eat a banana and also patiently waiting for me to get off my phone call at work so she can come see me in my office… She's just longing for my attention, cute!

It’s really hard to capture how impressive the stained glass and architecture were inside Notre Dame!

Hopefully these pictures give you a taste.  Seeing the five story tall columns along with the two and three story tall stained glass windows was quite a thing of beauty!

It’s fun so see Logan putting Andy’s Mind Storm to good use.

He made a full auto ball launcher out of them!

Enjoy 3 minutes of Zoe just being silly…

 First, she loves this cutoff from a Christmas tree, second she was trying to figure out how to eat a piece of banana, third she was disturbed that the soap fell off the tub, and lastly she goes nuts for the cat toy ball tower…



I caught a leaf right in the middle of Fall… ;)

The size and scope of the stained glass windows inside the Notre Dame are impossible to capture.

These are three stories tall and two stories off the ground… We sure enjoyed seeing it from both the outside and the inside!

I love the view of the fall colors in our back yard.

This is from right out our back window.  The David, Laura and Susan trees are just getting to their color display this year.  

I liked the way the sun was shining through the tufts of our ornamental grass

Julie and I stopped in Paris on the way to Switzerland, so we had to see the Notre Dame Cathedral!

See impressive!

Probably the same way that Chipster Dufus got a chipmunk to thrash….

The squirrels love their toys and aparently Pepper does too. ;)

How did Pepper get a fish…?!

Julie and I sat and ate lunch at a window with this view!

On my trip to Switzerland twenty years ago, while we were 11,000 feet in the air in the Alps, we enjoyed a meal and the view of this glacier which fills the valley between these two mountain ranges…

I found one of these while on my walk this past weekend.

RC Cola brings back memories of the once per week Sunday night pizza tradition when we were kids.  We were allowed one glass of soda that was mixed 50/50 with water and loved it!  We thought we were the bomb!  I found out how much better pop tasted a little later in life… haha!

We took a train to JUNGFRAUJOCH, the top of Europe.

11,333 feet, the highest point you can reach as a tourist.  You could feel the effects of the lower oxygen levels for sure.  On the way back down everyone on the train except Julie and me fell asleep.

THIS is how you get above the helicopters…

Jump off the side of a mountain… Julie and I BOTH tried this and loved it.  

We saw people doing it and instantly wanted to.  I thought I was going to have to convince Julie to let me, but took one look at her face and realized she was thinking the exact same thing, so off we went!
