Premier Aout (First of August)
Luckilly, it was a nice warm day. We went down to the beach in Saint Blaise, had a wee bit of swimmin', then a picnic dinner and some play time. We made sure the boys had a nap before this so that they could stay up for the fireworks (photos of which are never very good).
The boys swimming with goggles on, and the ferry behind.
Playtime on the cheese at the park.

The boys were so good. The fireworks didn't start until 10:15pm and they were troopers. Too bad the show only lasted 5 minutes! It certainly went with a bang, though. Guess what time they woke up at the next morning..... 6 am! Now that day was a bit other.Round 2: Le Chasseral

Put all your wood here, little worker children.
Walter and the boys had such a lovely time when they went with the neighbours that they took me there. Herb, Vero and kids even managed to make it too. In Switzerland one can find a field, start a wee fire pit and grillgrillgrill. As long as the cows aren't there. The cows below were on the other side of a fence. What a perfect picnic :)

Walter murders another stick for the fire. Stockwell Knives yay!
No fire is complete here without raclette.
Liquid gold!
...Or marshmallows from the good ole US
Kids 'n marshmallows
Everyone chips in for the fiyah!
Children try to consume as many chips as possible before parents find out.
Everyone waits patiently for meat.
Walter samples some of his work.
Thistles in Switzerland.
A little 'au revoir' committee saw us out of the Chasseral. It took a while to say goodbye to them all....and shoe them all out of the way.
