Our Visit to Liechtenstein #1

This is what Liechtenstein is made of...high mountains...

...and a low river valley. Just past the Rhein River is Switzerland.

The landscape is still green during the winter, just like Germany.

Here is what they call the Gutenburg Castle at the southern tip of Liechtenstein.

Our Visit to Liechtenstein #2

We took a drive up to the mountains. The road got very narrow and we thought we were lucky that no one came down the mountain. But then we realized it was only one way at that point.

.
It was a beautiful drive with the fresh fallen snow.

We passed some holiday homes along the way.

As we came out of this tunnel we were in the highest ski town. It was nice and clear and the moutains seemed to be begging for skiers. The town was dead because the resort had not open yet. I am sure they were opening that weekend.

Our Visit to Liechtenstein #3

Here is the main shopping area in Vaduz. You can see the castle up on the mountain. This is where the Prince lives. It is private so we could not get a tour. :( Thats okay...how many castles have we seen here in Europe. :)

Here is the Rathaus in the main square.

Here is a close look at the castle. We took a drive up the mountain.

Here is a church in Vaduz right by the main shopping area.

Our last fall in Germany

I am going to miss the fall in Germany. It is so beautiful since it is covered in trees. It will be a change when we go back to Utah.

This is the Kurhaus in Wiesbaden. Well, the back of it.

The leaves were in big piles everywhere. They loved playing in them and making it rain leaves.

They loved watching the ducks below in the pond. It was a great day out!

A bike ride in the Kurpark

We went for a bike ride in the Kurpark and had a great time. It was perfect weather. Not too cold just jacket weather. The boys had a great time.

They loved this tree because it was just the right height for them to jump on.

Gotta love Germany! Little boys...well just about anyone can pee in the open. Brandt takes advantage of the situation whenever we are out. He thinks it is great!

This is Zachary's big crash. It looks like it is set up but he really did take a spill. Gotta love helmets.

Preschool

This year Rex is in Preschool. We rotate between homes and it is working out great! This week it was at our house. It was P Day! We ate popcorn and pinapple for a picnic. Then we made sock puppets and had a puppet show. Brandt is also so happy to be included when it is at our house. The kids seem to enjoy it and Rex looks forward to going every time.

Cubscouts...Do your best!

Spencer and Zachary are both in Cubscouts this year. Spencer is a Bear and Zachacy is a Tiger. They are both half way to getting rank. I am glad that they are excited to work on achievements and learn new things.

Here is Spencer and he best friend here in Wiesbaden.

Here is Zachary just after he earned his Bobcat badge. He got his face painted as a welcome to the pack.

Here is Spencer receiving his awards.

Here is Zachary and his Tiger Den after receiving awards.
