Anniversary

Dave and Jeni celebrated their wedding anniversary this past week.  Because it was on Sunday this year, most of the celebrating happened this past weekend.  Dave took Friday off from work and the two of them went on a 5 mile hike over in the Kettle Moraine.  In the evening, they went out to dinner at the Melting Pot while Marshal watched the girls.  It was a fun day.

Jeni gave Dave a pack of cards.  On each and every card was one of the reasons she loves Dave

Marshal's Band Festival

Marshal had a band festival last week in the Wisconsin Dells.  There were about 20 schools there to perform.  After the actual performances, they let all of the kids have fun either at the water park or the indoor theme park.  Jeni went as a chaperone, so she got to have some fun too.

Dave's Trip To Switzerland

Dave spent a week in Zurich Switzerland attending a conference for work.  While the week was filled with a lot of work related activities, he did take some pictures on some of the evenings.  Here are a few.

Swiss Institute of Technology.  This is where Dave's meetings were at.  Albert Einstein went to college here and was later a professor. 

There is a canal through part of the downtown.  It was originally build for defensive purposes.

Cute old bakery.  The sign says it was established in the 1600s.

One day the sun did come out.  This was taken from the west terrace at the college.  The Alps are visible in the distance
