Easter and Garmisch

Our dear friend Claudia lives in Germany and this year she invited us to join her and some of her family in Garmisch for Easter! We had such a wonderful time! Our kids love to go to Germany. The older three feel the connection of having been born there and often comment on the couple of trips we've taken and how much they enjoy it.
And we were really ready for a break! It was so refreshing! Great companions, swimming, american food (from the US military hotel there)!

The first morning as we walked down the hall to breakfast, some other guests greeted us with a warm, "Good morning!" We laughed later at the way we were surprised and bumbled our way through a response! It totally took us off gaurd! It was good to be in our own culture again!

Thanks Claudia!Luka and Tori, Claudia's granddaughter (Katie's oldest for those who know her!)at an Easter Egg hunt! What a scene!
Josh enjoying his breakfast! A masterpiece!
Blake and I even got to have some Starbucks!
Swimming was the main attraction for Luke and the girls! Having Tori to play with added to the fun and she was a great playmate to both Kendra and Luke!
Blake and Josh even got in some snowboarding on the Zugspitz!
