Heinz has been wanting to take us canoeing on the Thuner See since we have arrived. Finally, he had his chance to take us out yesterday. The weather was perfect. He wanted to do something special for us on Fourth of July. Brett got off of work an hour early and we started our own little 4th celebration. Ruth and Heinz made hot dogs and hamburgers with all the regular toppings! They tried to simulate a bbq for us. They are so nice. There was so much food. Three hamburgers for everyone plus hot dogs! It was so nice for them to make if feel a little like home.
Afterward is when we went to the lake. It was really fun. We packed up the canoe and kayak for Heinz. The water was so smooth and shallow. We saw people walking out quite a ways from the shore and the water was still only to their waist. It was fun to relax while rowing a canoe. Took us a while to figure out how to actually go straight... but Brett got it. It was a great day at the lake, the smell of the grill, hot dogs and hamburgers on our Independence Day at our home away from home for now. We came home and enjoyed a big homemade pazookie. A great ending to a great day.
Are those swans in that picture?
ReplyDeleteThat looks so picturesque!
You really missed out not watching the fireworks from the dusty field with the family. ;)
