Schliersee to Tegernsee


Simon had a day off of work in August for some Catholic holiday that is celebrated here in Bavaria.  We decided to take advantage of the day off and the beautiful weather to go and to a hike that we had been talking about for a few years.  You can hike from one lake to another lake in the Alps.  It is an hour train from both destinations.  So we woke up early and headed to Schliersee.

It took us about four and a half hours to finish the hike, including lunch and snack breaks.  Auburn was amazing and walked almost the entire way.  Conley walked a large amount as well, but really enjoyed his time on Simon's shoulders.



Auburn really wanted to throw some rocks in the water.  Simon was kind enough to take her the extra 10 minutes down to the water's edge so she could do just that.  Conley and I stayed at the train to save seats for all of us.  It was a good thing we did because we would of had to stand for the hour ride home.
It was a beautiful day in the Alps.

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...

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
