Kyle's Switzerland journal

While we were in Switzerland last week, the kids were to keep a travel journal as part of their homework. It was something I wanted to have them do anyhow, but thankfully the teacher assigned it so they kids did it. Here is Kyle's journal (with translations).

We went to New York. We went on a airplane to get to New York.
We had dinner with Max and Leo. Max likes monkeys. We woke up super early.
We had lunch with Max & Adam. We took a subway. We had cupcakes at the park. Now we are on
our airplane to Zurich. We are crossing the whole Atlantic Ocean. yesterday we started at the Pacific Ocean. I can't wait to have chocolate in Switzerland.
We had a special kid hotel room in Zurich. We have a teddy bear soap.
I got a affen (monkey (in German)) at a toy store. We ate special treats, sausages and fondue.
We hiked at Uetliberg. We made a big leaf pile. We messed it up.
We went swimming at the hotel in Zurich. We ate a yummy pretzel salami sandwich on the train. Tomorrow we will take a train to Lucerne.
We are in Luzern (German spelling). We made cookies with the pastry chef Bettina.
I made a monkey cookie. I can't wait to play on the mountain. We are going to the mountains.
At Mt. Titlis we went sliding down a little mountain. We went on four gondolas. We were 10,000 feet high.
We played in the snow. We took a train to the gondola. We saw some pretty mountains. My favorite part was sliding.
We took a airplane ride to New York. We saw bunnies and we fed them leaves. We went
watch shopping. We walked to dinner by the lake and pretty bridges. I had a wonderful time in Switzerland with Mommy, Daddy and Emily. (Note: The latter description of feeding bunnies, watch shopping and dinner by lake and bridges was still in Lucerne.)
