A Fun Night with our South Africa Friends

We couldn't pass through Southern Germany and not see our buddies that we knew from our time in South Africa, they were gracious enough to host both families...so we rolled in with a party of nine and they treated us to a wonderful dinner on their deck and a great walk through the fields at sunset.

Our friend is a pastor and that is his church steeple with the sun setting behind it!

In the morning we all walked to the elementary school to see their youngest daughter play in the end of year soccer tournament, the kids were still in school for 2 weeks!!
Soccer fans

Eliza, the soccer star!

We saw the kid accepting the winning trophy for his team, could have been a Saturday in the US, except everyone was speaking German!

Charlie fondly remembered the playground at the school from our last visit and was thrilled to spend some quality time on it with Jake, Katie, Lila and Eliza, Jake is on the monkey bars in mid swing.

Walking back from school to their house there was a cool view of their old house and the church steeple...theirs is the one with the cool wood framing.

Lila posed for me with her house in the distance!

Just a random house in the town.

They said this was the mayors house, I thought the flowers were gorgeous!


Again Myev beat me to writing about our stop, here is the link to her post...she had a nice picture from the local bakery, we love eating the pretzels when we go!

So nice to see our friends and our US friends loved having the real experience of staying in a small German town with locals!
