Late August we spent 1 week at a family camp with our church and "German sister" church in the Austrian Alps. We had a great week of bi-lingual preaching, food, fellowship, and many activities; and the views were absolutely awesome!
Day 1: Exploring Kleinwalsertal/Soellereck
Nothing is too hard for these guys! Well, humility maybe!
A view from the top of the peak. Funny thing, we ski this area every winter, but it looks very different in the summertime!
A view from our room - it was great, there was only quiet for miles!
A restful view during our hike....
A preferred picnic spot.
Another breath taking view.
Highland cows along the way. It was amazing that you could hear their bells for miles.
Day 2: Kletter Course/Hochseilgarten in Kanzelwand
Ready for take-off....
"Mr. Agility"
Our group: friends from Holland
Here I am swinging from the trees! Did I mention this course is the highest in elevation in all of Germany?
"Little Miss No Fear"
"Enough with the photos!" This is what I get for relinquishing the camera!
Brad and Madeline enjoying a break and the afternoon sun!
A weary bunch!
Day 3: Hike Fellhorn
Another gondola to the top...but this time a hike down!
View of the Kleinwalsertal valley
1st stop
On our way down to the valley.
Another breath taking view...
Day 4: hiking the waterfall caverns
These pictures just don't do it justice.
See the kids? They're the tiny speck in the middle. This gives you an idea of how massive this area is.
Day 5: Farewell
Madeline was able to play an offertory piece that she has been working on for a few months with her teacher, Jerin. We had to say goodbye to Jerin as she was again returning to the states for school. Back to Skype lessons for now! I'm still trying to upload the video clip of Madeline's piece. Keep an eye out for it later.
