Yesterday we joined friends in celebrating their daughter Anna’s first birthday!  They decided it might be fun to hike to the glassbrunnen which is just on the other side of Bern. It is a spring that runs through the woods and according to our Swiss expert there is no known source for this particular spring.  Turns out I got 90% people pictures and not one of the fresh spring.

We met late morning and walked through the woods to the spring. When we arrived we found a spot to begin collecting wood and building a fire for a bbq. We have to remember to do things like this is VA because it’s so easy to overlook what’s in your own backyard!

 

 

 

 

 

Owen wasn’t quite himself yesterday…turns out he woke up this morning with another stinky cold…or rather he was up throughout the night unable to breath and coughing.

every trip to the woods requires at least one child to have a potty emergency, right?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we felt like we were in an episode of Pioneer Woman! I just watched her make banana boats on her show a few weeks ago!  turns out they do them here too! yum!
