Then we were off to the Bay! We had so much fun with Phil, Sara, and Jody






What a fun dinner. Thanks so much Oma and Opa!!!






Oma and Opa took the whole family to the Whistle Stop Cafe. It was really great and the train really does whistle when it goes by, just like the movie!!






We were off to BG and got to visit with Phil, Sara, Carter, and Camille!

We took Court, Zach and Allie to play wiffle softball at the Lake. It was a lot of fun! But it's really hard to get these three to take a picture!!!



Jake and I went home for a visit, we picked up Mia from Day Care and went shopping! Mia got to ride on the Duck, it costs like a dollar now! Didn't those things used to be a quarter! But Uncle Jake's a pushover so he paid up!!!



The cows out here all wear bells! It's really funny and it sounds pretty nice too.

We dropped the camera and had no way of getting until the end, we were too high up. This group found it and turned it in. Thanks whoever you are!!!






Me on the course, it was a challenge especially since I tend to freeze when I get too high up! I did it though, it really boosted my confidence!




Jake at the ropes course near our house, you have to climb and then zip line to the next challenge. It gets higher and higher the further you go! And no spotters, you attach your own lines at at each stop.

There was a castle that we toured when we got to the top









We hiked up the cliff for some great views



We went to Portofino, Italy. This is the main square around the bay







Italy!!! We drove to the northern part of Italy 2 wks ago. We had to drive through the Alps which means a lot of tunnels






the church was really old, and still in use!







we had a great Saturday and even had lunch at this little bistro



It's a midevil city about 1 1/2 hrs from our house



We visited Perouges, France a few weeks ago
