Getting back in the game

Swimming worked so well in the States as we were battling jet lag, that I decided we'd give it another try. Just about every day our first week back, we headed over to the Nyon swimming pool around 4pm to meet up with friends. Pete would join us after work and we would eat dinner there. It was a great way to end each day AND keep the kids from going to sleep too early.

The Nyon swimming "compound" is amazing. There are several pools divided up by grassy areas, a playground, and trees that continue right down to Lake Geneva. This great kiddie pool with a slide and fountains is usually where Henry spends his time.
Alex and Ruby prefer the bigger pool with the fun mushroom fountain. In the background you can see Lake Geneva and France across the way.

Unfortunately my head is in the way of Mount Blanc but the stranger taking our picture didn't seem to notice. Whoops!
