Grandma and Grandpa Hausen in Switzerland

We visited many places around our home in Geneva during the next week.

We spent some time in the forest and fields outside of our town. I love walking over here and looking out at the mountains.
I took my Mom and Dad to Thun, a beautiful Swiss town in the German speaking side of Switzerland near Interlaken.
Jonas laughed at this sign which said "This is not a potty"

We hiked around the towns castle and enjoyed the beautiful gardens and plants.
At the chocolate museum Jaxon had a blast in the fountain.
Jonas almost died when this lamp post fell on him. We were blessed as his body rotated just enough so it fell on his arm and not on his little head just an inch away.
Janet and my Mom had fun preparing food together. Here they have a wonderful Raclette with dried beef from the Alps and smoked ham from Italy.
Jonas had to try the coco beans at the chocolate museum. He was disappointed with the taste.
Jaxon was a little more wise and just smelled them.



Cool playground at the Maison Callier, the chocolate factory
No words needed.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about the chocolate museum is the chocolate room which allows you to live your childhood Willie Wonka dreams. After touring the factory you arrive in a room with unlimited amounts of all the best Swiss chocolates. It is worth the 10 franc entrance fee just to visit this room. After the visit Mom and Dad said they never wanted chocolate again, but the next day they were ready for more.

We had a wonderful visit with Grandma and Grandpa. It was so fun to watch the boys bond with them throughout the trip and to share so many wonderful experiences and memories together. We are already scheming for next year!
