Our last day in Italy was fun as we went to an adventure park. It had water slides, tree top/suspension walk, and giant trampoline. Sophia was very brave walking on the top tier! Domi got the hang of it really quickly too but had to stay on bottom level because of his age. Today started off with our last swim in Lake Maggiore then we drove to France to the race site. We were about to go on the cable car to get to the top of the mountain and ride the luge however ...

First of all we have to say happy birthday to our cousin Joel and Auntie Robyn. We wish we were there to celebrate with you. We did our fourth hike today-in the "pre-alps"-unfortunately we are not quite in the Alps yet. At the top there was a roller coaster/luge ride that daddy rode with us while mommy went for a run.

And we learned to never hire a babysitter that only speaks another language....lol On the train ride back from t...

Our intent to do a scenic drive thru Tuscany got derailed by Sophia being car sick.Mommy has been fighting a small stomach bug too. So it was a bit of a long drive, especially since we couldn't find the hotel and a certain male refused to ask for directions (typical male). However the two adults remained calm, which makes us think that we would rock the Amazing Race one day! But once we got here , all was worthwhile. The "apartment" is so quaint and totally Tusc...
