The Past Couple of Weeks for us in Germany

Hi Family,
We don't have much time to write a detailed description of everything we've been up to for the past couple of weeks, but we will post some pictures of some things we've done.  We have been doing a lot of hiking with the kiddos since the weather has been so nice.  It is nice and cool here in the summer...usually a high in the low 70s.  If you have any questions about a picture or activity you see just ask and we'll explain it better.

 Philip riding his bike in our driveway early in the morning.  It's bright and sunny by 6am!

Our favorite restaurant near where we live. 

On the Train.  Philip was so excited!

At the Olympic Stadium in Munich

Philip's Birthday Bundt

Philip is very loving to Stella and likes to giver her lots of hugs and kisses

Our apartment in Dresden where we stayed for 2 weeks so Andrew could take an intensive German language course at the university there.

After a fun bike trip to the Czech Republic (we parked about 10 minutes from the border, so it isn't that impressive!)

Biking while we were staying in Dresden.

Some cliffs near where we live. Actually right in our back yard.  They are a 5 minutes walk/hike from our neighborhood.  The path and the little mountain that they are on is designated as some kind of memorial to the Celts who used to live in this region many centuries ago (before the migrated to the British Isles).  Even the name of our street is Keltenstrasse (Celt street)

Coming back from the Cliffs

Playground in our neighborhood

Hiking in the foothills of the Alps in Garmisch Germany.  Andrew is wearing both of the kids.  Philip on back and Stella on front!  What a dad =)

Cafe St. Martins half way up the mountain with Garmisch down below

On the way back down the mountain

Almost back to the "base camp" i.e. our parked car.  The Zugspitz is just behind Andrew.  It is the highest point in Germany.  The highest point in the Alps is in Switzerland.
