Berthold's in Zurich

The Bertholds came round for the weekend on their way back from they Bavarian holidays... lovely to have some quality to catch up with Levin and newborn Wolf Sebastian and enjoy another great day of sunshine!!  

Here we go down the slide into the lake!!

.. and then off we go with our braccioli to the platform on the lake!!

Young Sebastian getting his feet wet!!

And then drying up on the lawn...

A run around and a kick about with Levin before heading home for lunch...

... and then into town for a nice treat in the local patisserie!!

There goes Levin whistling... he really got me going with that trick.. have been practicing myself for some time now.. perhaps I'll have learnt by the time I see him next!!

A stroll down past the Grossmunster!

Come on folks.. let's go to the playground!!!

Sebastian & I on the swings!!

BBQ at Fiene's place

After a delightful day at the Badi we were invited over by the Wolter family, our dutch neighbors, for a yummy BBQ!!

Always a good excuse to play with my little friend Fiene! 

But the sun took it's toll on me as I embarrassingly crashed out well before sunset!!

Kusnacht Badi

... it doesn't feel that bad to return from holiday if you have such great facilities around you at all times and such good weather too!!  

What a wonderful day we spent at the Kusnacht Badi!!

Personal Training with Jordi

... once back from holiday we had to get back into the swing of things and get back into decent condition after some of the holiday excesses... here we are in Jordi's studio working out a little!!

Time to head back to Europe!!

... the holiday came to it's end in no time... short but intense!  Just like the return flight, right Ma?

Nati & Juanpi get married

The big moment has arrived for Nati to become a princess and to me to look like a marshmallow!!

Feeling a litte nervous and observed by a few too many eyes (300 or so people attending church today!)....

Dadda give me some words of encouragement!!

OK, I'm loosening up now.. the red carpet to the alter isn't that long after all.. I can do it!!

Some time to relax before my "major" contribution to the wedding!!

A laugh with my beautiful Mamma

and then we're already in business:  Nati comes through the door with her Dad... 

...that's it!  They are husband and wife now!!

Group picture with the newly weds and all the little marshmallows!!!

Then time to hit the club where Nati and Juanpi performed a relentless dance until the following morning!!

There were nibbles and refreshments (basically a ton of alcohol) for everybody and comfy seating for those that preferred to take it easy...

...but I far more enjoyed taking a privileged "perched" view of the dances from high above!!

Then time came for me to feel it was probably time to hit the sack.... (apparently well before the party really got into it's full swing...) 

Guess who's tired here??

Take me to bed Mamma!!

Record-breaking Nap

Big night tonight and I've been informed I am on official duties and also expected to stay up till late... better take a long rest while Mamma entertains Nati while they get their hair and make up done!!  So I ended up sleeping the entire afternoon until well past 6pm!!
