Sailing
Nyon is right on Lake Geneva and has a lovely nautical school which Sterling and Alex enjoyed.

CERN CMS Visit!!!!!!
Hey, want to see CERN and the new, super duper large, hadron colidger? First you gotta get past the super duper eye scanning technolgy....
unless it is "open doors to the public days" in which case, come on in, put on a silly hat and smile for the camera!
PS - there are no secrets at CERN. The security protocols are for safety to make sure eveyone who goes in also signs out.

Summer in Nyon
Our beautiful village castle under a royal blue sky.
The swimming pool has a fantastic setting. That's Sterling and Alex - first ones in.
Driving home frm France, I saw this lovely field of sunflowers.
So I stopped to have a closer look.
I saw something through my lens......
what a happy surprise!
Sometimes little fingers know just what to do to put a smile on everyone's and anything's face!
And sometimes grown-ups also beautify our surroundings.

Yummy spring
Being from Chicago, where a few years back they had a painted cow festival throughout the city, we really didn't think this to be so strange, until we thought about it. But then, it got our attention which was good, because figuring out exactly how to translate "pick your own" was proving difficult and this solved all our problems.

Spring in the Juras
It rained in the spring alot, so we had to go up high to find the sun. The landscape was like a patchwork.
When we stopped to admire the view, we found these lovey snails which narrowly escaped our dinner table!

Spring in the Alps
We went for a hike in the mountains and the scenery was spectacular.
The snow covered mountains above, the village in the valley below, and the blossoms on the trees framing the view.
The walk back down was through meadows and the sounds of cowbells drifted on the breeze.
But then Elliott got the bright idea to cool his feet in the stream. Uh, where do you think that water comes from, E?
Remember those snowy mountains?
Très très froid!

Spring in Nyon
Nyon burst into bloom and the city was spectacular!
The scent of wisteria was everywhere in the village.
And the cherry blossoms were like pink snow, coating sidewalks, ponds and anyone asleep under the tree.
