Dinner in town after Linderhof Palace

Outside of the resturant, I believe we were in Oberammergau Germany( this is a town that holds the passion play every four years, the people of the town grow their hair long to play the parts of the time period of Jesus)

Walt had the Deer Stew. it was fabulous!!

Linderhoff Palace Germany April 2010

The front of Linderhof Palace. This was King Ludwig favorite place to live.

Beautiful fountain that shoots 30m high. It goes off every half hour. The boxes in the background are covers for the other statues, they keep covered during the wintertime.

The Solley Children: Walter, Emily & Andrew.

We are going through the Garden area up to Venus's Grotto

Entrance to the Grotto. King Ludwig had this manmade cave built to resemble one of his favorite stories by his favorite auther/songwriter (Wagner). Inside is a pool area that was heated  so Ludwig could swim in it during the winter months. It has a waterfall, a wave machine, and was even iluminated with many different colors. All this back in the late 1700's....Amazing! 

Good looking Family, so Blessed!

Small Church on the grounds. It didn't need to be big, because most of the time Ludwig was alone. Very Beautiful inside

Still trying these silly self portraits, in front of the Palace!

Inside the grotto....very cool !

We are sitting at the Tea House, and it overlooks the grounds of the palace

The fountain spewing....we caught it just in time

I love this photo......if you could have only heard them laughing...:^)

Great Kids

MS Walk in Garmicsh Germany ( We Love you Cindy)

Our modified shirts for this years Walk. This post-it note wouldn't stay on, but we tried!!

We Started at the Entrance to the Edelweiss Lodge, and walked through downtowwn Garmisch

Emily leading the way.....

I better catch up, falling behind again

Turned up a side street into a residential area

Paintings you see on sides, and front of houses and buildings

Front of a resturant we passed

walking down a foot path that runs down the middle of privately owned hay fields

One of the many hay sheds you see

Back to where we started, and the children really felt a sense of accomplishment. They really love their Aunt Cindy, and just want her to not have to take medicines/needles everyday! Tears of Joy were shared at the finish line!! :^)

Toboggan Ride/ Alpine Slide = FUN !!

The Alpine Slide on the outskirts of Garmisch. It is right next to the Olympic Ski Jump arena

Walter & Emily going for their first run

and they're off...Emily looks a little nervous

up,up,up,up to the top

first run complete, and now time for many more, they loved it

Start of run number two, or was it three, maybe four....I lost count

Do you think she was having fun????

Walter driving, Emily throwing her hands up.....

Neuschwanstein Castle

Hanging on the overlook!

The Kids pose with their new buddies, and thanked them for hauling us up that hill/mountain

Side veiw shows the size of the place.....wow!!

Garmisch Germany.....The Zugsptize

The Highest mountain peak in Germany

The Kids conquered the snow mound at the top of the mountain

We had a beautiful day, and could see for miles

The Cog train is arriving to take us back down the mountain. This was very cool, but not soo scenic, as the train travels through the mountain mostly!
