Neuhaus am Schliersee

Schliersee is a little lake only about an hour out of Munich at the foot of the Alps. Simon's company has some property there and they let their employees use it for hvacations. Simon was able to reserve a room for us the last weekend in June. It is an absolutely beautiful place! We wished the weather would of been a little bit more cooperative, but we still had a great time. We were able to go out on the rowboats, play some ping pong, hike, watch some movies and just relax! It was such a wonderful weekend!

We took one of the rowboats out on Friday when we got there.
We had to take advantage of the sun shine.




Auburn and I enjoying the boatride



It rained all day long on Saturday. We weren't going to let that stop us, so we went for a hike.


At the end of our hike. Simon and I were soaking wet, and Auburn's head got wet at the end because she wouldn't keep her hat on. She actually slept through most of the hike.

Exhausted at the end of the day!

Every time you post pictures, I get so...not jealous, but like a hunger to go and see these places. I've always had a one-sided love affair with all things European so I hope you don't mind as I live through you guys to experience it. I don't know if we will ever get to go, but I really hope we can come visit you guys before you decide on a new adventure!
I can't imagine what these places must look like in real life. I attempted to take pics while I was in Hawaii and they just don't do it justice. Germany looks so enchanting! I love the picture you took of the boats in the boat house!
Oh wow, she's adorable! Keep those posts coming-I love your blog!

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.

movie of our trip to Mexico

Simon made a video of our trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Since I haven't gotten around to posting about the rest of our trip (that happened a year ago), I am just going to post the link to the movie on youtube.  Hope you enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnUgh7HfbM
