Gruyère in the Snow

For Boxing Day we went to Gruyere to explore in the snow.  First Maison Cailler (the chocolate factory) 

then a few snowballs to reduce the sweetness of the chocolate.

Thanks Kent and Nate :)

 Then into Gruyere to see the Chateau.

Erin, Dan and Nate walked from heater to heater to try and warm up.

Just a smile, warms us all.

A different view of the gardens.

One of my favorite pictures displayed in the chateau (quite an eclectic collection).  Now turn your computer upside down to see the same pic.

My favorite cows in one of the tower displays--cute, huh?

Still practicing the dancing but no more cushions, uh-oh.

A view from the ramparts.

The Bradys and the Roths with the valley behind us.

Celebrating Lily's 12th birthday, Happy Birthday Lily!!!!!  

Thanks for sharing it with us :)
