Germany So far

Here are photos from my trip so far, I am only two days into my five day stay then onto London. the First photo is of a really cool looking building (no I didnt find out what it was) just as you exit the Karlsplatz subway station. The second Photo is just a shot down the street from my Hotel entrance. The third photo is the main shopping street that leads to the Old Town Hall. The fourth photo is of the fountain at Karlsplatz, the fifth photo is of peoples I consider Family. Joanna and John on the left live in Heidelberg Germany and have lived in country for 6 years, Joanna works as a contractor for the US Government. John works on post at the Commissary. They have two daughters living with them, Jenn is the older daughter and couldn't come down to visit, Rachel is the youngest (Ive known her since she was 9 I think earlier than that but man I shutter to think how long ago it was). The last photo is of me taking my own picture in front of a fountain at the end of the main shopping street Neuhauserstr. The movie is of the Old Town Hall which is now a beautiful gathering area surrounded by pubs and eatery's. And that's it for now like the video says more to come.

I forgot about father's day!

Will's parents and younger sister Heather came out to Utah to bring Heather to BYU and they just happened to be here father's day weekend. We don't see them very often so it was a great treat to spend a few days together. We went to Temple square on Sunday and had a picnic lunch.

Swimming in the backyard

I got the kids a bigger pool for this summer and pulled it out last week since our rainy June has finally ended. They loved it even though they were shivering the whole time. Hose water is pretty cold!

baby contest

Our city has of summer festival every June and I have always wanted to put Rachel in the baby contest they do. So this year I finally did. for your entry fee you get a photo and an entry in the raffle of cool baby stuff. Sadly we didn't win anything but at least we got a really cute picture for our $12. We still think Rachel is the cutest kid ever.
