Wednesday, November 19, 2008

It has been awhile since we have posted and that is mainly do to the fact that Carter and I are in Germany right now :) We came out here to visit some friends, who just had a baby, and to enjoy more of this beautiful world that we all live in. Unfortunately Gordon couldn't come with us but we are taking tons of pictures and video so we can share our experiences with him. It is so hard to be away from him this month but because technology is so awsome right now we have been able to communicate often. So, here are some pictures of this wonderful trip that we are on...This is some Great food we had....it is a Doener and it was way yummmy! Here is Carter on our walk through the neighborhood. He loved the crane in the background. It was moving and he wanted to see it closer :) So it seems that wherever we go we have to go upstiars...we are Always climbing the stairs! (great workout though)We had a chance to visit the aquarium in Hamburg...that is where we are visiting...and it was really cool! They had a great shark tank! Here we are at the Rissen zoo. Rissen is a little town in Hamburg and they had a fun zoo where we could get up close with the animals and feed them. Here we are feeding the pigs. And the goat that got out of the cage This deer was very very friendly! You'll see how friendly in this video. We could touch him but didn't dare to ;) Here are some cool buildings that I got a picture of. This is the Rathaus...also known as City Hall...we got to go inside too :)This is the LDS ward building where we have church on Sunday. It is very pretty inside too! Here we are in front of the San Diego ship that we took a tour through. The kids enjoyed being on the big ship! This is Jana and Katelyn, her daughter, we met them through the ward and it has been so much fun hanging out with them :) And here is Carter playing in a gymnastics class with Katelyn. It was great that he could get some wiggles out!! So there are some fun pictures...and a video.... of our fun time so far here in Germany. This has been such an experience and we are enjoying every minute of it!!!! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we will post more in December :)
