Summer has arrived in Switzerland!

The weather has been fabulous and we have been enjoying our last few days in the city

Here is the fountain that Jack loves to play in

And the new scooter that he got for his birthday
The circus arrived in town this week. It seems the whole city of Neuchatel has been invaded!

Circus trailers for the performers/workers fill every possible campground around our hotel

And all the parking lots are full with trailers as well

Up and down the streets are more trailers and other things for the circus

And the roads that Jack used to ride his scooter on are now filled with all sorts of animals

Camels and zebras walking the streets of Neuchatel

I'm just glad I don't live in these apartments! With the heat, this is one stinky place to be...

Horses line the street next to our hotel.

Not every day you see elephants on the sidewalk

During the daytime the circus opens up a zoo to see all the animals. Jack was able to have his first pony ride

He absolutely loved it and cried when his turn was over.

Then, down at the beach every one came out to see the elephants swim in the lake

Here they come...

Three happy elephants swimming in Lake Neuchatel

They were getting a little to close for comfort, so we bailed right after I snapped this shot.

Headed down to the pools

Loving the water!


Jack has a habit of opening his mouth when he goes under water. Usually resorts in him swallowing a ton of water. I've been trying to teach him to close his mouth, but he always forgets

The teeter-totter at the pool

Sandbox next to the kids pool

"Now what should I do?"

Jack wanted to go on the big slide. I wasn't sure if little kids were allowed, but we tried it anyways

Here is the view from the top. A little intimidating for a small person, but Jack did great! He wanted to do it again, and again, we must have went down this slide 15 times! By the last few times he was holding his hands in the air as we went down and people would clap for him when he landed in the big pool.

View from the bottom

Jack discovers the world of sprinklers

Oh, the joys of childhood!

Playing "catch" at the park

Rolling in the grass

The trees near our hotel have been decorated with some pretty odd things.

I think this is supposed to be the moon with a space ship in it's eye

Creepy monster

Jack was mesmerized as we walked around searching for more monsters in the trees

And a random Earth hanging in the middle of the sidewalk.

Today Jack got out of bed before I woke up and got into a bag of miscellaneous things. Guess this is what happens when mom sleeps in! (p.s. that is liquid eye liner all over his face/arm.)
