And yes, for all who are wondering--it was ALL in German! Thankfully the two main speakers were from the U.S. so because of their accents they were a bit easier for me to understand and were more than willing to translate for me....but three weeks of German could only get me so far. At the beginning of the week I just sat there nodding my head with a blank stare on my face but by the time Friday rolled around I could understand the main points, just not all little details:-) At one point I was so proud of myself because the speaker was telling a story and I could follow it.....well, then came the punch line and I still have no idea what exactly it was. *sigh*
We spent many of our afternoons at the lake canoeing, swimming, or in my case, just laying in the wonderful warm sun! But we had two afternoon outings that were particularly fun :-) Tuesday, my family spend the afternoon playing a very relaxed but fun game of mini golf...definitely not one of my talents but I enjoyed it anyway. Thursday afternoon flew by as we went to "adventure park" and spent four solid hours making our way through a series of high ropes courses. Oh, sooo fun!!! It was only my second time on a high ropes course but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm pretty sure I was fairly entertaining to watch too!
I am so grateful to my family for taking me with them on this awesome week of family vacation! It was certainly a wonderful ending to my summer and amazing start to my year with the Weihing family :-)
Swans on the lake and the Alps in the distance....AMEN that's a YES!!! Love it...enjoy!
