Castle Touring

During the last week, we also took our visiting family to see the castles of King Ludwig II. Here is Mike with the King's childhood 'home' in the background. It was a beautiful day. This is the first summer we have spent here in Germany since we began this tour in 2005. We do miss our family in the states that we normally go to visit but we are enjoying some sightseeing too.

Paragliding in Garmisch

On Tuesday, the 1st of July, we went down to Garmisch again and this time Shela and Lorissa went down the mountain on a parasail. It was pretty darn awesome. The pilot asked Shela if she wanted a calm flight or some action and Shela said, "Bring it on!" so the pilot took her on two "death spirals". It was exilirating to say the least. It's no wonder the boys want to do this as a hobby.

Just walking along.

This is one of my favorite photos because it shows a rare time that I had with my grandkids in Arizona of just being normal. We were walking down a sidewalk at a strip mall heading for the pizza joint.
