The Old and the Restless

 Gisele and Jean-Louis (Hervé's parents), Hervé and Alicia before the meal. Brandon, Bryn, Sandra and Paul Paul's chevreuil with  Spätzle  arrived Brandon ordered the extra large piece of venison. ( He had been at the swimming competition all day.) He had no problem finishing everything.

Waiting for his turn. Finishing 3rd in the 50 metre butterfly. After the race. "Warming up" with Isabel before the 100 metre free-style race.

To go riding, Alicia and Bryn first had to get the ponies from the field. Then, the pony needed to be groomed. Note that his ears were back. Apache was objecting to Grandma combing his mane. Alicia cleaned his hooves with a pick. Bryn held the tether while Alicia practised voltige (trick riding). Note that she is not wearing a helmet.  In Switzerland, helmets are not used in voltige. Aunt Sharon is VERY concerned about that. After practising voltige, Alicia wore her helmet and safety vest to go for a bareback ride with Bryn. Bryn rode Billy while Alicia rode Apache.
