Appennino!

 Here we are in the beautiful Appennini with the big family

 a very nice Agritur structure is waiting for us

 perfectly spotted by zio Dome e zia Ste

 let's go, dinner is served at 7:45pm!

 on the background, the inspiring landscape of Alpi Apuane

 Giorgio e Taira

 zia Cippi e zia Marcella, all smiling and in great shape

 what a dinner setup, on top of the mountain under a patio!

 after the appetizer...everyone is satisfied

 we still have 2 primi, 2 secondi and dessert!!!

 Chicco cheeks have now reached Olghetta

 looks like Chicco has a photo move: cheek on the shoulder and a semiserious look

 oh Giorgetto!

 oh Olghetta!

 look, here are the 'lucciole'

 what is zio Bebe' doing? looking at the stars with the iphone app, nowadays there is an App for everything!!

 papi, are you ready? You are the last one for breakfast!

 zia Cippi favorite game of the year: 'chi e' stato?', try it with your mouse

 ready for a group hike?

 what a great one, with the 'faggi' shielding us from the sun

 Giorgetto is pretty comfortable among horses, try him with your mouse

 nice

 there are even some young ones

 don't give him too much confidence Olghetta

 nonnaLu is in great shape, she walks faster than a horse!

 Paolotto is not into horses, he is into berries!

 Giorgetto is more into horses

 oh oh, zia Cippi has something that smells good in her backpack

 this local gentlemen is simply...part of the landscape

 guarda Nico, so many here, try it with your mouse

 all right, time for the picnic at the lake

 nice gang, all the lake for ourselves!

 well, there are some guests but they are very quiet

 Olghetta has the same build as zia Ste when she was young

 nonnoCla in great shape, apart from few cm^3 of belly...

 nonnoCla is looking for...

 zia Cippi is always very sweet with everyone

 that's what nonnoCla was looking for

 oh Paolotto, what a piece of crap!

 nice reflection of the mountains in the lake

 nice hat zio Antonio!

 Giorgio is very relaxed when Taira is around and there are no bees...

 zia Marcella just had a nice joke about love

 brava!

 and here is zio bebe' back in shape, after a stomach problem in the early morning

 Paolotto, that's a lot of berries dude!

 nonno, I wanna go here

 Chicco is pretty sweet, he hugs everyone

 this is a true hiker

 Nic has a bloody nose: there are enough supporters to cheer him up!

 all right let's go to Lago Verde: what does 0.4 mean? apparently it means 40minutes...

 good thing Giorgio is not here

 that's a more difficult hike: zio Dome is prepared

 pretty unique environment...

 here is the other lake

 oh oh, guys it seems like this is not a trail: we are lost!!

 papaTeo's offline GPS to the rescue: back on track, and what a view!

 mountainbike with 'pedalata assistita': great concept, to be tried in the future!

 did you have fun Chicco?

 oh oh, zia Cippi on the move, try her with your mouse

what about a splash? NonnoCla is ready!

so are Nico and zio Bebe'

..and Nic Olghetta

 mammaVale seems to enjoy her room instead

 nice outfit!

 oh oh, nonnaLu is worried about something

 here we are, that's all of us, 17 this year

 learned on Giorgetto's favorite show: "outrageous acts of science"

 now that's a smile!

 Paolotto's berries end up in the dessert: good job buddy!

 here is Nic surprising everybody: guys I got a 'lucciola'!!

 here she is, pretty bright still!

 oh oh, looks like it's bed time!

 Giorgetto is up early...501, 502, 503
