Spring, glorious spring!

Spring is finally here in Munich. I am so grateful! After living in Florida for 8 years, I have forgotten how long and cold winters can be. We would have weeks when the temperature would barely go above freezing all week, yuck!!! Auburn and I have been taking advantage of the good weather by going on long walks every day. Even though we live right downtown, we are very close to a few parks, Luitpold Park and Olympic Park (where the 1972 Olympics were held). After WWII, these parks were the dumping grounds for all of the rubble. They created large "hills" on top of the rubble. We have been walking up the paths to get some great views of the city and for some really good exercise!

On Saturday, we walked to a park that is a little bit further away. Simon plays pick-up soccer every Saturday at the Englischer Gardens. Auburn and I had a little picnic and watched the ducks while Simon played soccer (and scored a hat trick) and then we walked back together.

I forgot my camera on Saturday. This is a picture of us at the Olympic Park. Just a few months ago this lake was solid frozen and we went for a walk across it.

We've been enjoying Spring for awhile here in GA. However, the past week or so, we've been bombarded by storms. Thankfully, we have just enough of a grade on our property that the water flows away from the house (and into the neighbors'...sorry!)
Aubry looks a lot like you. She's such a cutie!

I hear ya! As you know, Utah always plays tricks on us with the weather. We have had a mix of all the seasons in the past couple weeks. I'm so ready for spring because it's so nice to get out of the house and Kayley loves being outside. That looks like a beautiful park. We need to talk again soon. I'll try to get on tomorrow morning to say hi for your birthday! But if I don't get talk to you if you guys are out or something then just know that I'm thinking of you and I love you!

Hooray for Spring! I love all the blossoms, and actually got a little yard work done yesterday, now to plant a garden :)

Mexico - Mayan ruins II

Simon's parents had to get back to their mission in Mexico City and we continued on our trip.  We saw a lot of ruins, 9 in total.  This is the next post of Mayan ruins.  It was actually great for the kids as well.  They could run around, climb and explore. It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...
