Lego Land






Every European Country is represented all using LEGOS.....amazing!



Legoland was a treat and we loved it!  The park was not busy and there was never more than a 5 min. wait for a ride.  We have never been to Legoland before but the Rebers give it 2 thumbs up!!

Laundry....the German way

Most Germans do not use dryers...Everything has to be hung to dry. So we bought the big dry rack and hang all of our laundry. This is a pair of Owen's boxers after I took them off the dry rack. They are so stiff they can stand alone! I was drying off Owen after he got out of the shower when he said, "Mom please stop it's rough!" So our laundry is a little rough these days but we are adapting to the German way!

The Schwetzingen Gardens

These gardens are just down the road from us and are truly magical. They are huge and it is impossible to see everything in one visit. This was our second visit and we still havn't explored all there is to see. This is a promised visit to anyone coming to visit us!

P'tite Mom's First Visit to see us in Germany

Pascal's mom drove over from Switzerland to spend the weekend with us and we had a great time.

Colmar, France

The French boarder is just 2 hours from where we are.  This weekend we went to Colmar and took in the sights.
Eating a Chocolate Eclair in France! 
Pretzels are huge here, I love how they just hang them up.
This area is called "Little Venice"
