Guten Morgen! Greetings from Germany/Austria

-
Hey yall!

I thought I would be able to write more often... but unable to get an internet connection. I have loads & loads of pictures I will bore you all with when we get home....

I am LOVING this whole camping thing... REALLY... WAY different then camping when I was a kid...

We started the trip in Berlin... 2 days in Tropical Island.. & decided to high tail it down to Austria last night so we could really enjoy our time in the Alps... Bad move....

Can you say R A I N... & lots of it. We stayed in a hotel last night... because the thought of trying to dry everything out was not appealing...

Checked the forcast & looks like rain for the next few days...bummer... so the question now is do we tough it out or head on over to the French Rivera?..... We will have to decide something this afternoon...

I so wish I could post pictures of the kidlets... they are having a B L A ST... both have made German Friends.. & are trying their best to learn a little German.

Oh & the TIPI not soo bad... I thought we might stick out like a sore thumb, but my oh my...
we got nothing on some of these professional campers... WOW..

I will write when I can... wish us luck & sunny skies... I am off to have a yummy breakfast & teach my babies to yodel!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
