Hiking in Irel!

Before school started in early Augst we all went on a hiking trip in Irel. It was beautiful! We hope to go camping in early Summer there.



Here is Kitty and her snail or, as she calls them, nail-s.
She loves them and won't leave them on the ground.
There's BooBaby and Peanut going inot the Devil's Canyon

Bike Riding to Burg Ramstein

This was a very fun day for the family. Everyone except Bubbles rode their bikes. Peanut was such a trooper! We rode around 7 miles!



Behind dad, you can see the ruins of Burg Ramstein, our destination.



What a view!
Poor Trixie! Seven miles of running is a lot for a ten year old dog! But, she did so well, I'm sure she had fun. BooBaby liked having her along! She slept for two days after that, though :)
Almost there!
Bubbles fell asleep, so Dad stayed at the bottom of the hill with her while everyoneelse trekked up the hill side to the castle. BooBaby led the group up the steepest path she could find (you know, to save time :P) It was really tiring but it was worth it. Here are the girls standing in from of the bridge that leads to the ruins. This is the inside of the castle...or what's left of it. It was really mysterious and beautiful. You can see where the fireplaces, floors and room used to be.

Dauphenbacher Strasse

(The street that goes to Dauphenbach)

This is a road leading out of Orenhofen. Lolo and I love to ride out there because of the beautiful scenery, many farm roads and cows and horses.Dad actually picked one of the corn cobs off the plants, we want to see if its corn for us to est or cow feed! ^_^ Right outside the horses fence is a huge pear tree. The horses (in German: Pferde) ate all the pears on their side off the fence. When we went down the farm road and stopped at their fence 6 huge horses and two ponies came up to the fence, apparently waiting for us to feed them some Birne (pears. All nouns are capitalized for some odd reason.)

The main reason we rode out there that day was to take a picture of Rodt. Its really pretty, I wish the camera captured what we saw. We're going to have to go back and take pictures when its not foggy... we better hurry though! Now that its fall its going to be foggy a lot!
