Sam went all over Zurich to pick up some used toys for Nora before we got here. (I know what you're thinking--nothing says parental love like used toys, right?) The trucks were a bit of a bust, but these blocks have been entertaining her for hours. Every day she makes something to show him while he's at work.
Train station (I think)
Sam picked up a used stroller for us. Elmo has been snoozing in the baby carrycot (since we don't need that) for days at a time. We were actually getting a little bit worried about him until Nora announced he was getting up from his 4 day nap. Thank goodness! I was worried that we'd brought him all the way to Switzerland just so he could sleep in a fancy buggy.
Tired Elmo
Nora in the stroller with the muff. (It's been cold.)I really really have to learn how to break this thing down in case we need to fold it up on a train or plane.
There are three parks/playgrounds in town. One is really nice and we picked up some sand toys because if it's not raining, I hope to hang out there often as it's only a 10 min walk from our apartment. There's another one along the Glatt River which is about a 30 minute walk for us. It's older, but a nice walk past some honey bees and geese. The third one I'm not sure you can really call a playground. It is certainly not a park. It's some climbing rope structures and a slide outside the Migro grocery store. Maybe they knew that kids would need to run around after shopping practically every other day for their supper.

Exploring sculpture near Dad's workWhenever we go to the train station in Zurich, Nora points out this sculpture hanging from the ceiling. It's her favorite. It's by Niki de Saint Phalle.
Guardian Angel in Zurich HBBob and Cheeto we miss you, but not your annoying habits regarding food and interrupting our sleep. Mom and Dad, I hope they win their way back into your hearts each night with purring and much sleeping on your laps!
