Seeing the sites

We have been busy these last few days, and look to stay busy for a while. The other day we took a bus to the ski slopes and took a lift to the top and went hiking around the mountain tops for about 30 minutes. Then we stopped in the lodge for some warm beverages. The scenes were amazing. Today we went to the flea market and looked at all sorts of things. They have great prices on fur coats! We did find some deals on some kids clothes, so bought some sandles for the girls, and some tights. We didn't find a lot of trinkets to bring home, but maybe that is ok.

Tomorrow we are going to the zoo, which is supposedly very nice. They have polar bears! Tonight we are having dinner with a new couple who just got in this week for their first trip. Lost luggage, but they go home tomorrow. Our other friends are picking up their son this afternoon. We are so excited for them. We will probably celebrate with them also tonight.

Yesterday we called my mom, and this morning we called MaryEllen's mom and dad. All were glad to hear from us, and don't have internet or email. It was so nice to talk to them and surprise them with a phone call. Apparently all the family from the east is so excited, especially MaryEllen's Uncle Al, and God mother Delores. All our friends and family can't wait to meet our daughters, and we are equally excited to introduce them. Don't think they will get spoiled, do you? We are counting the days, but having a nice time while we are here.

We are trying to put a video on the blog, so stay tuned for that. If it works, it is precious.
