Our family was so excited to get some visitors over the summer. Bryan's sister Wendy and her family came out the last two weeks of July. They had a difficult time adjusting to the time change- Bryan swears the younger boys were always asleep when he came home from work or left for work. Kate fell in love with "the little girl" or Myriah and always wanted to play with her. It was funny to hear her call Eli "the little boy", since he is about 3 years older than her.
Watching Tangled with Myriah and Brianna.
The Ellison's took off for a 6 day adventure through Germany and met us in Fussen for our half marathon. They had good intentions, but made it for dinner after the marathon! Bryan and I didn't realize this half marathon was a trail run and we brought the stroller. Poor Jane and Kate had to endure steps, rocks, roots, gravel, cobblestone, and water/mud in the stroller. They were troopers!
We stayed at a pretty neat hotel near Fussen. There were hiking trails everywhere and a church with a climb to the roof with magnificent views.
We met the Ellison's in Oberstdorf for hiking, eating, and watching the cows come down the mountain for the night. Such a beautiful area.
After their crazy 6 days of travel around Germany, we relaxed at a natural pool near by. It was a perfect Bavarian day. We loved having our special visitors!
