After Jeff and Zack left my mom came the next day. We had so much fun. We played around London for a few days then took off to Switzerland. We went there pretty much with out a plan.

Our first day there we decided to go get reagan some food at a local mall and ended up sitting next to a couple who had two kids. I was kind of listening to them speak and thought they sounded american so I told mom they were and she started to talk to them. Come to find out the girl had a BYU shirt on...what are the chances! They helped us out so much, they showed us where to catch the tram that would take us to the main rail station because they just happened to be on their way to it, and what part of the alps would be best to go to. They were full of information we needed.

The pictures are posted backwards, but you get the idea....

The Swiss Alps or the Top of Europe ~ I actually saw runners at around 10,000 feet I just couldn't imagine running at that altitude.


We had to catch the last train down wich happened to be with a tour group from India and they LOVED Reagan. They couldn't stop taking pictures of her (they did ask first) and they wanted to hold her and touch her hair and skin. But these two little girls kept her intertained for atleast the first train wich was a blessing.
The very top of the alps...atleast as far as we dared to go it was snowing and icy, and the india people were freaking out that reagan didn't have a hat on...it was only 32 degrees...I figured it wasn't that bad considering winters in MI get well below zero.


The Ice Palace...the walls and floor and everything is well, ice.




The view on the way up...it was literally like being in a picture


Another view from the train


a little town on our way up the mountain

On our way to the alps...first train reagan is still happy

The only country we technically didn't go to that we were really close to, but thought a picture would be fun


Hyde Park, London




The Beef Eaters








Well that is mom's visit in a nutshell it was fun and I was glad to be able to spend some time with my mom. We had a blast and I can't wait for another fun adventure...
