Deutchland

We got back from Germany on Friday night and were all very exhausted after many hours flying. It's so good to be home but I miss Emily like crazy! We had so many good times!
*Nancy taking us on the Pedestrian walkway. Jon- "We can get through this way... I'll just have to move one barrier."
*"Push the Button" I swear Emily, it doesn't exist.
*"Flip a B"
*Ow Charlie, that really hurt! Charlie...
*The crazy crowds on the night of the Euro cup
*Wipeout on the luge
*Emily's hose
*Don Giovani. Thank you Prego Emily for letting us escape that one.
*Randomly talking in British accents all the time.
*The mysterious salami smell in the car.
*"Oh look there's another waterfall!" Great mom...
*Our AWESOME duck outfits
*The Cheese Factory. Emily and I were really bummed we missed that one.
*"Please make a U-Turn if possible" Thanks Nancy...
*Singing random songs really loud, especially at the open air museum. People probably thought we were out of our minds.
*All the drama over splitting checks.
*Eating Ice cream everyday
*Going to the watch museum... I think I died a little inside...
*Buying lots of junk food on base. It was all she could keep down! :P
Thanks for keeping me entertained Em!

Crash and Burn

We found an Alpine Slide outside of Garmisch and went to do it on Tuesday. Basically, it's a cart that you ride down a concrete track on a ski mountain. You can control how fast you go by pulling up on the brake or pushing down to accelerate. Emily and I had so much fun going down it the first time! We were going so fast! We were on our way up the ski lift to ride it a second time when it started sprinkling. We got to the top and they told us they were shutting it down because of the rain. It wasn't even raining that hard!





We came back the next day to ride it again. On my first run down I was going too fast and flipped out on one of the turns. I skidded on the concrete then rolled into the grass. It hurt pretty bad! I now have two huge roadrashes on my leg and arm plus many little ones other places including my ear and my cheek. That better not leave a scar on my face! I pretty much felt like I got hit by a truck this morning and am very swollen and bruised. Oh well, the ride was SO worth it! :D
