Last weekend we enjoyed some family time with one of our favorite families (the McCulloughs) in one of the most beautiful spots in Germany (Garmisch). They reserved a suite at Edleweiss Hotel (the american resort) so we could all stay together. Not many families can stand staying with their own kids in a hotel - much less another families children - I am forever thankful for how we all just make it work (and made it enjoyable!) The McCulloughs bunked in the loft portion (macy even enjoyed a night peacfully in the bathroom) While The Leadbetters bunked in the downstairs room together.
Farrah coordinated for a babysitter on Saturday night and Brian reserved time at a wonderful restaraunt for Saturday night. We even tested out some Indian food on Sunday.
Here is my caveat - when we travel with the McCulloughs, I often forget to pull out my camera as Brian has a MUCH better camera and a more talented eye. They are currently vacationing in England visiting his family - so stay posted as i will have more photos coming =) Here are just a few.
On Saturday, we visited Neuschwanstein castle. The McCulloughs toured the castle while our boys played on the beautiful grassy field below.
Anyone see the similiarities in these boys? I love them all!!
Farrah, the munchkins and I opted for the horse drawn carriage ride on the way back down the hill - beautiful horses!
We had a wonderful weekend and thank the McCulloughs for including us as family. I drifted off a bit during the drive home - and when I woke up I felt a familiar pit in my stomach. It was the realization that weekends like this are truly numbered. We are not strangers to moving on in life - but the idea of losing the McCulloughs and 5 other wonderful families is surely starting to take its toll.
Every moment until than is a treasure!
Here are some more photos from the McCulloughs
Farrah's idea to bring swords up to the castle - kids loved it!!

What a great family
Post card shots curtosey of Brian McCullough. If only there was snow on that castle
Chris always manages to find a beer =) Another reason why I love him so much!
Ture sword fighting

Farrah spotted this on her way home (rather close to their house) I love how 'normal this is out here. Yet another postcard photo - just of a different genre
Beautiful weekend - thank you again!
