7 years!

July 25, marked 7 years as our time living in Germany. It is funny to think about how fast time has gone by. When we first moved here, Bailey was 9, Camden was 7, and Mia was only 3! We had no idea what we were getting in to, except for the fact that we knew if we didn't like it, we could stay one year and come right back. Now looking back, I can't imagine not having this experience over the last 7 years. Definitely so grateful for the opportunity to raise our family here! Here are some pictures from the weekend...

Although Mia still has school, she has been getting to go on lots of fun field trips. This day, she was all packed up for a river boat ride and swimming with her class:-)

We went to a lake about 25 minutes from our house and brought our kayak -  It was super windy, but it was still fun.

So pretty! 

Mia had fun playing on the small rocky beach

She made a little fairy hut :-)

Across the lake, they had the coolest water ski park. Definitely something to add to our list of things to do!

They had lots of jumps and obstacles - it was fun to watch!

They had a biergarten and kids swimming area too - you could make a whole day out of it! And so reasonably priced (I'm always amazed)!

really neat!

The next day, we took Bryan to Monte Kaolino (Bryan had never been) Where's Waldo?

This is the famous sand mountain for skiing - it is great exercise going up!

Feels good on your feet too!

Almost at the top!

Skiers heading down - such a neat idea!

We didn't ski, but instead Bryan and Camden had a race/run down the hill (Camden won :-))

They have all kinds of things there: a huge swimming area, a sommerrodelbahn, a ropes course, mini golf, Segway tours etc.

Camden and Mia did the Segway tour. They give you a little quick course on how to drive..

And then off you go...

They really enjoyed it... Careful not to hit the sports car - yikes! Again - gotta love the lack of liability :-)

A fun weekend!
