I once found a clutch of turkey eggs in some tall grass while walking in an orchard. Every few days, I'd check back. Until one day, I found the mother hen as she was leaving the nest, with her chicks in tow.
One interesting thing I learned about Switzerland: if you partake of cheese fondue, and you drop a piece of food in the pot of cheese, you incur a penalty. The penalty typically involves drinking shots, nude streaking in the snow, or kissing whomever sits to your left side.
We're doing well, thanks! And I'll take some of that frog repellent! Just to ensure that any frogs with wandering hands/eyes keep their distance. Max isn't really interested in skiing, snowboarding, etc, but we appreciate your concern.
I'll keep an open mind about Switzerland, however.
Max said that he wants to visit Switzerland one day. I'm sure it's a great country. I mean, I don't know much about it, but I hear their flag is a big plus.
Reading simple books with pictures and simple words out loud to the kids, helps with comprehension. They associate the sounds of the words with the pictures, which improves memory.
