Maddie hits the indoor slopes
Haven't posted in a few days, so here's a quick catch up on what's happening here in Germany.
The rain is back. No rain for almost six weeks, but now that it's back, it's supposed to stay awhile.
But the weather was great for the International Fest. There were booths from Australia, France, China, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, India, Latin America, Greece, Israel, the Alpine countries, Korea, Japan, Italy, Belgium and the USA. You can't even begin to imagine the amount of food! It was much bigger and have many more people than I ever would have expected.
Skip's cousin Joerg and his wife Annelie were able to join us for the weekend and they enjoyed the festivities as well.
Note Maddie standing next to the Canadian Mountie. It's one of her favorite countries, because that's where her friend Madison is from. We're losing Madison this summer to New Jersey, so that will be hard for Maddie. She only has six weeks of school left at at least three of her friends won't be back next year. Madison to Jersey, Brendan to Michigan and Meg to Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. It's a weird world we live in here. Buddy Liam's family has signed up for another year, and they will be sharing a birthday party later this month.
On Sunday, Skip took Maddie for the second time to the indoor ski hall in Neuss, Germany. Skip is about to burst that Maddie is taking to skiing like a duck to water. She LOVES it. Finally, Skip has someone in the family who will be able to keep up with him on the slopes!
