My Parents' Visit

Many of you may be wondering what happened to us....just life keeping us all so busy. We've really enjoyed our summer and as usual, staying busy with all sorts of activities. So rather than bore you with a long winded narrative of our happenings, I'll show you via photos!

My parents' visit was great fun, we played at the parks, took in a few castles and just plain goofed off!


preferred method of transportation - S-Bahn train

The Bobbahn in the Schwabian Alb






A day's hike to a waterfall in the Schwabian Alb






At Madeline's soccer match on the other side of the fields a developement company was giving rides for 50 cent Euros. Of course Jack and Papaw found a way to take the ride for a view of the city.



Exploring nature with Madeline's snail collection - yuck!
And this strange looking Highland Yak thing!




And of course - the local food!


Just down from the restaurant the kids asked what this yellow box way - a sign that we're getting old!
