Manderscheid Germany (Part Two)

Here are a few more pictures from the day we spent at the Manderscheid Castle. Hope you enjoy.

Manderscheid Germany (Part One)

This is a side by side ruins of two huge castles of one family. You may walk to both, but a good view can be had from the roadside. A medieval festival takes place here, usually during the last full weekend in August. Compete with wandering minstrels, people in medieval dress, jousting, medieval games and traditional crafts; fun for all ages. We went the Saturday right before school started so that would have been the 28th of August. It was very neat to see, and watch all that they did. I have so many pictures form this day, that I will have to post them in two post, so enjoy.

New member of the family!!

Meet Zeus!! The kids have wanted a puppy ever since we moved over here, and their daddy really didn't want a puppy. He said we had to wait until we came back from the states, because we would have no one to keep the puppy while we would be gone. So when we got back I started looking right away, and we worked on daddy getting him to were he would let the kids get a dog. I thought it would help Miss Madelyn with some of her "home sickness" that she has had ever since we have moved. We have had Zues for almost a month now and he, is doing really well, and the kids just love him to death. Kooper and Zues are like the best buddies during the day when Madelyn is gone. Zues has become part of the family in the short time he has been with us, all in all we are glad that we have him. He will see lots of Germany with us and then get to see the great USA when we move back. I just thought you all might like to see the new member of the Herrell family. Enjoy a few pics of him.

Zoo With Jake and Dani

We went to the Saint Louis Zoo with our friends Jake and Dani and their god daughter. We had a great day, looking at all the animals and having lunch. There is nothing like hanging out with two great friends and having a great day. Enjoy the pictures!

First full day in Illinois

Our first full day in Illinois NaNa wanted to take all of her granddaughters to get their toes painted. She has not had them all together since Kooper was born, which was 3 years ago; so it was nice for her to take them some where together. Here are a few pictures of them getting there toes done.

Blaak at the Fair!

Blaak showing at the Fair!

We went to the fair a couple nights this year, and then we went Saturday morning to watch Blaak show his animal. It was way to hot to be down there, but we were like all the rest of the stupid people and we still went. On Saturday night, Nick, Heather and Maison came down and we took the kids to ride, rides and they had a blast. So all in all it was a great time. That was our last weekend in Kansas, and it was a nice time. Thanks for all the fun times, can't wait for you all to come see us over here. Love you all.

Looks Who 3!!!

Our big boy turned three while we were in the states. We had a party for him while we were at my mom and dad's, it was a great day. As you can tell from this picture it was a pony party, what more could Kooper ask for. :)
