Giant Crocodile Eats Children

The kids and I took a set of twin girls to Jolos as their birthday present. They had a blast.. It's Chucky Cheese without the Chucky!!!! They have this Giant Crocodile that kids can climb into from behind and come out the mouth but, as the 2nd photo shows) the mouth closes up and "eats the kids".

J is sitting in front of the Crocodile to give you a sense of how big this thing is..

And S really enjoyed going down this bumpy slide..

The Hills are Alive....

If you watch "The Sound of Music" you might see snippits of this lake - The Konigsee (the King's Lake) - you can just barely see it for the mountians she is surrounded by.... the rest of the photos are views from Eagle's Nest, driving back from Salzburg, and the mountains behind the lodge we stayed at. We had beautiful clear skies the entire weekend....

Mr. Helperman / Mr. Dinosaur Man

We just got back from a BS Camp weekend on the Austrian Border. Mr. Helperman - is lugging my original dufflebag (from 1978). Went to Salzburg and visited a fabulous, very child-oriented, Natural Science Museum - thus J's hand in T-Rex!!!

Bird's Eye View of Austria... ain't it something!!!

All of these photos were from a trip to Austria.

This first picture is from the most recent Sock Hop - We had a fabulous facepainting artist volunteer her time... I could hardly recognize the kiddos...

J was so proud of dressing himself... I just had to capture the proud moment.

The kids went to a German Kindergarten when we first arrived in Germany. This is from the Fall Lichtenfest

One of my favorite pics of the kids.. Such World Travelers..

Such the handsome sailor...

4th of July - a little of Americana here in Germany

The kids and I just got back from the 4th of July celebration here on base. It was freezing cold - 52 Degrees - but it felt alot colder than that with the wind... everyone was all bundled up...

Hope you enjoy the pics.. a little blurry.. but hey - I was shivering..

This first photo speaks for itself..... I believe this may have been last year at Ginny's



This next photo was from a ski trip in Switzerland... Hot Cocoa tastes so yummy after a morning of skiing......



These two photos were also from last year at Ginny's
