Alpine Trip

Before Delaine and the boys set off for the States, we took a little alpine drive to Chur and also through one of my areas in Wattwil, which is in Kanton St. Gallen, for those of you who know Switzerland. It was a nice drive, and it reminded me of the hard work, sacrifice, and success that we experienced in this secluded, but beautiful part of Switzerland. It was nice to show Delaine, the boys, and Mindy my old stomping grounds. I must admit, there was a strong desire for me to park the car, march up into the mountains, and try to find some families by knocking on some doors...

Here is the church in the small town of Alt St. Johann. Yes, I did knock those doors on the hillside!

Delaine snapped this photo along the way.

The mountains never get old, it is so beautiful around here!

Stripling Trees Behind the Swiss Temple

After our time in the temple, we walked around behind the temple on the temple grounds, and we had some great fall fun. The trees were swaying in the breeze, and it was quiet and peaceful. Our boys loved it.

Bern, the Capital of Switzerland

On our way home from the temple we stopped in the capital city of Bern, which Steve loves. It was wicked cold, and Delaine was FREEZING cold, but it was fun to walk around.

This is the most famous clock in Switzerland die Zyytglocke.

Everett took this picture of Mommy and Daddy.

Daddy couldn't help himself... Hey, you don't see a Porsche GT3 Everyday!!
(Well, maybe you do in Switzerland)

This is where the Swiss Senate/Congress meets
