Cervinia, Italy

Hiking and skiing in the Italian Alps in August

Hey Erin, the penguins in Milan!	Sorry it took so long to get the pics.	The penguins in their natural habitat near the tram and Parco Sempione	They're almost as tall as Isabella!	Elisa and Isabella after the second ski lift
We didn't go any higher because it was too cold and windy	Dave went up another level and skiied, though.	The old spoon on the nose trick	See it's windy!	The Matterhorn from the flat where we stay
The back yard and our lawn chairs	On the ski lift, ready for a nice hike	Looking back down the ski lift. Good thing I'm not afraid of hights!	The Matterhorn up closer	Elisa in hiking gear
Dave and Bella	Sure don't want to get lost out here!	Dave and Bella by the reservior	See the little bitty town? That's where we ended up hiking back down to!	Pretty
Taking a break	Near a cave! oooh!	Rocks and wood	Cervinia again	Family portrait in front of the Matterhorn (Monte Cervino)
Us again	We walked from the other side, down and across that path in front of the dam	The reservoir from the other side	Bella's asleep by now	A track for hauling stuff up the mountain, I guess.
Isabella's hunting butterflies	She's fully rested now, but we're exhausted!	It was a 5 hour hike, after all!	Hmmm, Daddy's shoes fit funny...	Gasp! She's starting to look older. Quit it!
