8:06 a.m. Every day, mom is the first one to wake up.

8:55 a.m. It takes nearly one hour to dress up to go to eat at the restaurant. Dad is making a silly face with his croissant.

10:04 a.m. It takes another one hour to eat the breakfast and pack our bags. We are now on tram no. 14.

Dad said that Faye was very pretty in this photo. We have to change another train to Heidi House. The trains runs every hour. We have to wait for a long time.

We do some paper folding on this train. The tour book says that we only need to follow the red signs. However, there are many read signs pointing to different directions. So Dad has to 'feel' the right path.

12:58 p.m. Mom mrumurs a lot since the path is for both cars and pedestrians. It does not look like a good hiking trip :(

1:14 p.m. Much better now. Although there are still cars, coaches, tractors passing by, the beautiful scene make everyone feel cheerful. (middle) There are several tanks on the way. We see some people drinking the water. So we also try.

1:27 p.m. On the way, there are a lot of vineyards. The children are hungry. So we eat the bread and apricots.

1:34 p.m. The path is very steep. Tyler is not allowed to stay on the pushchair. In fact, Tyler walks all the way up to Heidi House.

1:40 p.m. Dad likes this photo very much, which makes me also pay attention to. Tyler's smile resembles mine.

Faye thinks that we are arriving Heili House. Therefore, she runs to the front, wanting to be number one...but she is wrong. It is not as close as she thinks. So she walks again.

1:47 p.m. More and more tourists. We should be quite close. There are 2 paths. Which one leads us to Heidi House?

1:56 p.m. We arrive at the Heili Hotel. We chose the wrong path. Therefore, we have to take the above pushchair-unfriendly footpath.

2:02 p.m. Finally we arrive! We only remember a bit about the story of Heidi. What I remember is that Heidi helped a girl (Clara), who used wheel chair, walked again.

No matter they know the story or not, they like this place very much. I like the first photo from the left below. drm stands in ascending order. There are some goats, chickens, and small animals on the lawn. They are not afraid of human.

'Hello' ... 'Uh-oh!'

DSCF3576-1 DSCF3578-1
2:17 p.m. They dare not touch the goat. Dad touches first. After that, they pat and groom the goat a lot, especially Trevor.

Dad is buying the Heidi House tickets.

This is Heidi House. The "Heidi" is not the one we know. We know the Japanese style Heidi only!

DSCF3732-1 DSCF3736-1 DSCF3748-1 DSCF3750-1
Drm run up and down the slope at first. Mom suggests them to roll down the slope. Without demonstration, ...

DSCF3762-1 DSCF3767-1 DSCF3795-1 DSCF3808-1
... they roll down happily. But Trevor does not know how to roll well. Later Faye likes rolling down in a silly way!

3:34 p.m. This is the Heidi that we know!

Tyler is tired, so mom let him get on the pushchair.
3:49 p.m. This is a helicopter. We watch it landing and passengers getting off. How luxurious!

4:16 p.m. Just like last year in Germany. We run to catch the train, which depars every hour. Dad pushes Tyler and Faye while I carry the sleeping Trevor. Without the sling, it is very difficult to carry a baby to run.

Ther is one more yoghurt bar. Yum yum.

We are not interested in this shop. Dad like the shop next to it - orange. He wants to buy an i-phone. I-phones are all sold out even we visit several shops.

This is the last night. I put them in a bath so that I can focus on packing the bags. They are very happy :)
