Despite what it may seem, we don't travel all the time. Sad, but true, Matt has to hold down a job. Now the kids are in school so we are confined to weekend trips and breaks...but during the summer while Matt was working, the kids and I did find some really fun parks and pools. Germany has AWESOME parks. There was one we went too that built the slides to flow with the land and hills. It was so cool, and meant that one of the slides was HUGE and STEEP, kind of like an alpine slide. We have really enjoyed the parks here.
Three of the kiddos on a slide we found at a park about an hour away.
(far for a park I know...but I don't like to sit at home with the kids, I like to go out and see and do if I can)
There is a really cool pool/park in the town of Grafenwohr, which is about 5 minutes away. There is a lap pool and a real fun kiddie pool area...but the kids favorite is the zip line they have there!

About 10 minutes the other way from Grafenwohr, outside the town of Eschenbach, there is a really fun lake. We went there a couple times and the kids loved it. There is a beach area with a little sand, you can rent paddle boats with slides on them, It was loads of fun. The kids didn't want to come home.
These were taken at Matt's Organization Day for work. We discovered how much the boys love to play catch.

I love this picture. Here is watching the "guys" play softball. You can just tell how he is studying how to play, and how much he wants to join in the game. This boy of mine will not be a sideline watcher for sure. He loves to get in on the action!
One day back in August, we went with a bunch of friends to a park in Amberg. It was about 30 minutes away or so. And totally worth it! We call it the "Pirate Ship" park. It is the coolest park I have ever seen. There is this lake area, with a water works play system. Then across the bridge there is a ship made out of wood, a tunnel/catacomb system for kids to crawl in and ferries to ferry across the lake on...so much fun!
Hannah and her creatures.
I have told you before, how much she likes to find things. Here she is with a tadpole she found. It took a lot of convincing to get her to put it back. She wanted to bring it home and see how it grows into a Frog. Granted it would be cool...if we could keep it alive, I thought it's chances were better in the wild!
Just look how much energy Jack is putting into that yell.
Anya, the conquering hero!
It was a fun park, and we had a great time this summer looking for new parks where we live!
