Luzern

Two weeks ago the fam took one hell of a trip to Rigi mountain...6000ft up. It started in Luzern by steamboat. Then we ended up on what looked like a hundred year old rail car vertically up the mountian. We were in the clouds. Other than that, it was a spectacular view down into the forest and the town of Luzern. Once we reached the top of Rigi, there was a bit more hiking to do, but not much to see, seeing as the fog was extremely heavy. We're lucky we didn't lose anyone. And if this double stroller we have makes it the rest of the time we're here in Europe, I'm having it bronzed when we get back home.

After lunch and a few "drinks" (which we needed for the next leg of our trip) we all hopped on an ariel car that took us pretty much vertically down the mountain. I'm so proud of Cate. She had a front row seat and wasn't the least bit afraid. She's a pretty brave three year old seeing as some adults could barely look.

So take a look:

More uphill on Mt Rigi..Ally is so stoked

So...Just a few words on some of all this:

Please everyone take note of he live baby in stroller above and sleeping aunt Ally on the bench who is suppossed to be providing the adult supervision. The hiking must have been too much on her. I sure do hope the wheels are locked on that stroller.

As far as I'm concerned, the picture of the adult having a beer with a baby slung over her shoulder is too fuzzy to be incriminating.
