In Honor of the Olympics

As you can probably see we are loving our skiing. Dan and I took the kids to Garmish for a weekend ski trip. This is very close to Austria and to Cindrella's castle in Neuschwanstein. We are so lucky that we can spend so much quality time together doing something we all like. After skiing we all played in the pool. Dan was off to the saunas soon after followed by Paige. They are two in the same.

Dan had to go back to the States last week so the kids and I are by ourselves for 2weeks. Last week the kids also had a week off of school. This is due to fasching.(Karneval week) Fasching is very similar to Mardi Gras. It's also a time of breaking the rules and poking fun of government. There are many parades and costumes all around. Instead of going to the parades though the kids wanted to do more skiing. So, off we went to find another mountain to tackle. It wasn't much of a mountain though. It was more of a hill. The kids had a great time and we went through many seasons as Paige says. It was sunny when we got there, rained, snowed and rained some more.

This brings us to Saturday and Sunday of this past weekend. Our very good friend Seth Crawford went with us to Feldberg, Germany for a day of skiing. I wish I had my camera to share all the wonderful sights we saw. Sunday we stayed busy most of the day by ice skating. Christian told me he was a speed skater. Paige obviously was going to be figure skating. It's been fun exposing the kids to some of the winter sports since the Olympics are on. Now when we do our winter sports they can relate to what they see on tv.

Hope winter is coming to an end were you are. Spring brings so many new adventures for us. April Dan has planned a trip to France for us and May we are looking to hit the high seas on a Greek Cruise. Much to look forward to.
Sending all our love. Thanks for reading.
