Winter Hiking Weekend in the alps

We had a reason to celebrate - our friend Sharleen from the US flew in - so 18 of us (plus 3 kids) rented out a nice hut in the alps to go hiking - we had fun and even the early snow could not stop our activities: a gigantic snow man, a trip to the enormous ski flying hill, full moon watching, cooking huge pots of soup, playing party games - special thanks to the organizers - it was a blast!

The Original - Munich Octoberfest!

This year we finally had the opportunity to visit and celebrate the original Octoberfest in Munich - that meant: get dressed in your dirndl and lederhosen, survive a packed subway ride, be on time at 11am in the tent to make your spot, drink a lot and dance inside.... and in the end dance home in the rain! Thanks a lot to our hosts and organizers for a fun day!

The wedding of Molly and Ben

What a party - the wedding of Molly and Ben was outstanding. A fairytale wedding in a castle, a sightseeing bus trip around the town of Leipzig (with a bar in the bus!), lots of games and fun and many old friends to dance with - even the preparation at the presidents and the transport back was outstanding....

Wedding weekend in Leipzig

What an event - for Ben and Molly's weeding a big group of us gathered in Leipzig to celebrate with them - we all lived in the US in the last few years and finally everybody came together for a big party. The evening before the ceremony was like a school reunion - and ended in the early morning with some burgers after all the beers and cheers!
