There was a family who watched a dog and BINGO was his name oh...
Holden's friend left her dog Bingo with us while she went out of town. It was super fun to have a dog in the apartment to love and a cute dog to show off at the park.
B for Barcelona Zoo
Seeing a joey kangaroo in it's mothers pouch was a highlight for us while visiting the Barcelona Zoo.
Holden and Luke thought the crowds were a bit of 'zoo'.
I for Incredible
A view of the French Alps from the town of Grenoble on our drive to the ski hill.
I hosted a dinner gathering at our ski apartment with the group we spent ski week in France with.
Most of the group was french and so communicating was often challenging.
"YES, SI, no I mean WE. Thank-you, Gracias, I mean Merci." I said often.

Cute chalets adorned the hills as we skiied down. The iron on the windows were hearts. Awe.
'Off Piste' , is the big word used when skiing in Europe. Here Ricky and I venture off the slopes (pistes) and into the 'hip skiers' land away from the crowds and groomed runs...yes, 'off piste'.

Holden and Luke can't decide which of the 160 lifts to take next in the massive ski area know as
Chourchevel Trois Vales or Three Valley's.
The girls ski with the help of our friend Digby.
Wow a family shot...
N Is for Nienke
Nienke is one of our best friends here who couldn't wait to go skiing, not only for the snow, but for her favorite meal......
"I will stick with Spaghetti,"says Luke, looking away from Neinke's Steak Tartar.

Steak Tartar. Raw ground beef with an egg on top.
First mix in the egg, onions, and peppers...
Perfect...."I love it!" says Neinke finishing her last bite.
G (for GORGEOUS)
On our way up to the mountains, we stopped in Provence for the night. It was gorgeous.
Feilds of lavender, fresh croissants, homemade butter and charm as far as the eye could see.

Ricky and Faith walk up to our quaint hotel.
The town bordered with lavender.
Our mini van didn't look so charming parked on this sidewalk outside our hotel.

O is for overpriced
Some things are very expensive in Europe, especially peaches. This peach cost 4 euros or almost $6.00.
And Bingo was his name oh.
