Trip to Washington DC, Frankfurt, and Switzerland

-
We spent the days from July 4th to July 8th in Washington DC with Jenny's parents, siblings and families, and with Laura and Andrew, Rob, Carolyn, Kip, Lainey, Evelyn, Nora, Mary, and Hannah

Here are a few fun pictures of the family reunion --






And, yes, we visited with Uncle Max at a Greek Restaurant. It was good to see him.


Then Larry and I flew to Frankfurt for his week of teaching Star Alliance. At the end of the week, we had two days of fun in Switzerland. Our first day was spent on Jungfrau Pass between the Jungfrau and Monch Peaks, which are as tall as the Tetons and covered in glaciers.

Those are stunning! Switzerland seems like one of the most beautiful countries.

I love the picture of Mom with the cows. If only they understood how much she loves them. :) (Maybe they do?)

What a special trip. I'm so glad that we had it together.

Amy's braces

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool!
