June - July Events

It has been quite a long time since an update and a very busy summer.



My sister, Amy, came for a visit. This is us at the top of a castle (Trifles) in Annweider. The baby is sleeping in that blue sling - exhausted after the LONG hike up. We hiked back down and ate cake to make up for the lost calories on this hike.



We've also been spending alot of time at wine festivals - a great place for two year olds and infants...really though, I'm not kidding. They're all outside in the center of various villages, some at castles and such. Many of them have fun rides for Daniel and lots of great food (oh, and some wine too). It hasn't been getting dark until nine or later, so it's a fun time to go and eat dinner, walk around for a while, and enjoy the wine. Daniel and Scott prefer the beer, but Joshua and I like the red wine and the sekt!





We "made bbq" with our neighbors - always very kind to us. Here is Scott, Joshua, Amy, Ellen, Daniel, Yvonne holding Lilli, Anna, and Frank. Oh, and Niro.

Anna and Daniel will be going to the same kindergarten in Hassloch. Lilli and Joshua now wear the same size clothes. She'll be one in September.



Holiday Park - similar to six flags - is located in Hassloch. As residents of Hassloch, we get eight free passes a year. They have an area for kids - so Daniel enjoys it and we like how tired he gets!







World Cup Fever! BASF hosts a traveling festival for viewing the different games. This one was in Ludwigshafen for the opening game. Lots of German flags and beer! When Germay won the game, we could hear the fireworks all over Germany.
