July 2010

Wow, my mom and I are freaking out because July is soon to be over and we're barely getting to our update! This month was so cool because my family from Switzerland came to visit. My naliis (paternal grandparents), my Gotti (Godmother), and her boyfriend were all here for a couple of weeks.
The time went so fast, and somewhere along the way (in Utah) I lost a pair of shoes. We started our time off together near where we live, then we went on to Vegas, and from there we went to Zion and Bryce National Parks. It was hot and I tried my best not to get too bored on the drives, but sometimes I just had to let a few screams out so the cars would stop and everyone could have a break.
After we got back we shared some of our daily things with the family like having play dates with our friends, visiting the beach and taking day drives to the nearby sites. Sometimes, though, it was just nice to stay home and play.
I learned so many new words in Swiss German. It was nice to hear it spoken around the house with more people--I wonder how different/similar it will sound when I next get to visit Switzerland? Hmmm... I also learned some new phrases thanks to my grandma, like "Hoi, Hoi!" She has a lot of neat phrases that I still want to learn.
Now our home is really quiet, but we're having fun looking at the different pictures from our time together. I look forward to doing it again soon!

I got some cool new books thanks to Gotti. Here, I am showing Grossi one.

Grossi taught me the importance of taking breaks and having ice cream.

Did I tell you I got some cool books? Here's Gotti and I looking at another one.

Opa and I were trying to devise a plan for me to sneak back with them. I told Opa he was too big to fit in the luggage.
