Nanny and PawPaw come to Visit Scotland!!
On October 17 Nanny and Paw Paw arrived in Aberdeen! We were all excited to see them, we just love having family around. Of course Trent and Landon were excited to show Paw Paw their school and the beautiful countryside this time of year, autumn is just gorgeous. It was a great visit, the boys had fun just visiting with their grandparents.

Munich, Germany
In the next few days I'm going to attempt to catch up on my blog! Ugh, I hate not posting in so long, there is so much that I would like to share as we have been traveling and visiting with family!!
I took my first all girls trip in October to Munich, Germany (Munchen, Deutschland)!! There were 10 ladies from the American Women's Group here in Aberdeen on the trip and I really enjoyed these ladies, we had fun. It was a fun city with lots to see and we all enjoyed the German food and beer...a little weiner schnitzel, spaetzle, bratwurst and sauerkraut of course. I love some sauerkraut.
The first day we went on a Bike Tour of the city. I was a little nervous getting on that bike in such a busy city, I hadn't ridden a bike on a street since I was probably 18. We were lead by a tour guide, saw so many historic sites and had lunch at a Beer garden. The bike tour was actually fun, I recommend this to anyone who is looking for ideas of what to do in this city!! Each night we had dinner at a German restaurant. The second day we toured 2 castles, Neuschwanstein (most visited castle around the world and inspiration for the Cinderella Castle) and Linderhof and visited the village were the Passion Play is held each year, Oberammergau. I enjoyed looking at all the wood carvings as well in this little shopping village. Here are a few pictures from the trip.
