Mia's antics

One day Mia drew this map on our wall. She was so proud of it. The week before she had made a very long path throughout the house with a roll of paper towels. I wonder where it is she is trying to get to?

Halloween

Gaby had such a hard time this year coming up with a costume. She didn't like anything we had or any suggestion I made. She finally came up with this--I don't know exactly what it is but she felt pretty and that's all that is important!

Morgan was a go-go dancer. Scary how well she would have fit in this era!!

Can you believe she is only 11?
Mia of course is a princess--One of her favorite people is Miss VI from the library. This is them after Miss Vi painted her face.

Fun at playgrounds

Believe it not this is not the largest slug we have seen here--they are pretty sick!

At Playmobile

This is called a spider. They are awesome! If this was in the States it would be a law suit waiting to happen!

Mia can swing for HOURS.
The German playgrounds have some of the coolest things ever!

Morgan is still my baby.

Fall hiking

Castle ruins in Kallmunz- Great architecture. Gaby is part mountain goat I think. She is actually quite high and had to climb over quite a bit to get to this point.
Trying to look royal.

Flowers and Trees

I just thought I would include some beautiful nature shots.
These trees look like they are on fire. They get various shades of red, orange, and yellow on the same tree at the same time. It is really lovely.

Whatever kind of ivy they use turn brilliant red in the fall.

Rock 'climbing'

We found this huge cave that is used for the town's volksfest (town fair-ish thing). There was a stage. The girls had run ahead and when we rounded the corner they started doing a dance for us.


My 3 girls!

Hiking in Velburg

This is just a town near us that has a castle ruin and a really neat cave. Unfortunately you cannot take pictures in the cave.
