Grandma Bob and Grandpa Wendy

Grandma Bob and Grandpa Wendy came for a couple of days on their way to a medical conference in Italy. The kids always enjoy these short visits with them. They get lots of attention and lots of treats. When I dropped Elsa off at school that morning she said, "Make sure Mr. and Mrs. Clause come and pick me up for lunch." Funny girl.

What she didn't know is that I had asked them to bring over a whole lot of their Christmas presents. They were so kind to oblige.

The day they arrived we stayed home and played. The next day we took them to one of our favorite Swiss villages, Gruyere. We visited the village, the castle and the cheese factory. For lunch we suggested Bob get the Crote de jambon, the Swiss version of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Usually there are two slices of bread topped with a slice of ham and smothered in cheese. The restaurant at the cheese factory gave him one slice of bread topped with a slice of ham and no less than a pound of cheese. Wow. That was a lot of cheese, huh Bob?

We had a wonderful visit during their short stay. And, as you can see Grandma Bob is always a good sport.


Thanks for coming!
