Swiss visit to Carly

 Here is Bert filling in time while waiting for our plane to have four tires changed. They announced that the plane needed tires changed and someone else told us that they had to change four of them. The previous pilot must have made a hard landing. So two hours later we left Philadelphia. 

 Michael and Carly drove us up in the mountains to a village where they still vote on issues by raising your arm if you agreed. So here we are in the town centre of Appenzell where they would do the voting. If you google in Appenzell you might see the pictures of all the arms raised while the villagers were voting.

Also in the village Bert tried to commandeer the local beer delivery truck. Unsuccessfully.

Lunch in the bush and Santa Claus Parade in Kinkora

 There was a good fire going for cooking the hot dogs.

 Then we went to the Santa Claus Parade in Kinkora.

 Viola, Age and Marie's horse, was also in the parade pulling a wagon.

Shawn was driving the horse and buggy.

Thanksgiving

 A beautiful day and the kids had their Thanksgiving meal outside.

Thanksgiving and Autumn

The children play in the leaves, the frost is on the pumpkin and at the end of a perfect Thanksgiving Day there is a touch of cold as sunset is upon us.
