Germany road trip - part 2

Here is the second part of our trip. I figured that since I am this baby is due next week, I better get this finished.






Schloss Wernigerode
It was a nice little castle that looked over a very picturques town.




Auburn enjoying the Wolfsburg game.






We took a ferry ride in Hamburg to see the city from a different view. Auburn loved the boats.




Bremen
We saw the Rathaus, the Dom and the Bremen town Musicians. Simon even got to see some mummies in the crypt.





Daddy and Auburn at the Bremen game.






You are probably wondering why there is a picture of windmills. All over Germany there are windmills and Auburn kept asking about them. She learned the word the first day and kept asking for them the entire trip. One night in the car she kept asking for "more windmills" and was really upset when we couldn't magically make them appear.





We drove over to Poland, just to say that we been there. There was much over the border, you really had to drive to get to the bigger cities. We did stop and have some Goulash and it was really yummy!





Olympic Stadium in Berlin.




Brandenburg Gate




Reichstag (Parliament building)
You can actually walk up to the top of the glass dom in the middle for a great view of Berlin.



Auburn stretching her legs at the Berliner Dom



East Side Gallery
Some remnants of the wall that artists have been able to paint.




Dom in Dresden



Royal courtyard in Dresden





We went to this really cool national park called Bastei. It was kind of a foggy morning. The pictures don't do it justice, but it was quite beautiful.







We had a wonderful time on our trip!

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
