The Cast

With all it's art work and cartoon action, the second cast was quite the masterpiece, pity Em didn't let me keep it.....=)

Snowing!

Our Van

This is what Em showed off her impecable driving skills off in all season long....the beast, we liked to call it

The picturesque town inbetween Val and Geneva offered an incredible pit-stop during some long journeys......and an H&M!!!
