Last Week!


So we are already in our last week here, which is amazing because I can barely believe we have been here 4 weeks. It is so nice to have such amazing family and friends who make the time here nothing but enjoyable. :)

So here are some updates on our few days in Bavaria!

A beautiful lake in the Bavarian forest!

Sabine's dad let us ride up 30Meters in the ladder of the fire truck!

After Bavaria, is was off to Switzerland with Mary, Steffen, and the Kids! We had such a great time with them! What a fun road trip it turned out to be! Here is the documentation...


Every day we got to visit for a while with Allison! It was soooo nice!
It is so wonderful getting to see her!




View from the convent!


Well there is more to come later! But now is movie time with Steffen and Mary. Maybe some more pictures tomorrow!

It has been a while, again...

so it is over halfway through our trip, and I have posted once, now twice. It is terrible I know, but I am sorry. We are having a great time at my aunts house, and it has been nice to be in the same place for more than 3 days. We head to Bavaria on Wednesday, back to Kinzenbach on Saturday, then to Switzerland on Monday. After 3 days in Switzerland, we spend 2 days in the Black Forest, then back to Kinzenbach! Then it will be just a few days until we head back across the sea to Texas! Those days are already filled too with a canoe trip with some of the families the kids know from the area. It should be really fun.

It has been super hot here lately though, and without AC, it is hard to muster. Fans are on all day and night because of the heat. We have been spending many days at the swimming pool in attempts to beat the heat!

We have also been having and attending gathering after gathering with good food and even better company. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming, and we are usually in for a treat with salads that were picked from the garden the same day as the party, and homemade desserts, and meats galore!

Well, there is more to come, whenever I get another chance!
