Mum & Maxine's Visit to Kitzbühel

Hello People

Here are a few photos of Mum & Maxine's visit to Kitzbühel. They stayed for 3 weeks and we all had a fantastic time. I think we did everything we could possibly do in that time including a few lazy days ! The weather was not that great but every now and then we had a perfect day which we really made the most of. We dragged them up a few mountains and to a few nice cities and villages. Also a mystery tour to Venice which they loved and we did too ! Venice photos will be coming too OK.

Charly was thrilled to have Oma and "Maxini" here for the time and her English came on in leaps and bounds which was fantastic of course ! Mum loved her cute little accent !

It was also really special having Mum here for Charly's first day at school. She was able to come to the mass at the big church in town to celebrate the start of school (all very catholic here), as well as seeing her classroom, schoolmates and teacher !

I think they tried every traditional dish there was !

I have to say a big thanks to Dad and Uncle Henare for letting their girls travel so far away to visit us and also a huge thanks to Aunty Maxine for accompanying Mum on her trip to us. She couldn't have had a more perfect travelling partner.

Charly Started School !!

Hey People

It's true - Charly started school on the 8th of September - a big girl who walks to and from school all by herself and loves it. We are so lucky that Kitzbühel is so safe and that we don't live too far away from school. Here are some photos:












It was so great to have Oma here for it all too !!! Charly's English has come on in leaps and bounds !

Love from us 3 xxxooo

Summer Holiday Excursions

Hello !!!

Just a few photos of the different things we got up to in the summer holidays. 9 weeks just flew by and now Charly is at school (photos to come). We did lots of things in the holidays as long as the weather allowed it. We only had 3 weeks of really hot weather and then the odd day here and there. Never mind - the kids were kept busy and all went well.

We went to the Lämmerbichlalm up the top of the horn. 1.5 hours over and back again with trampoline the whole time - pretty good going for the kids really !


You can see the guesthouse way in the distance behind the kids and we had only gone halfway.





Still energy to climb after all that - how do they do it ?

Then we had Harlee to stay the night and the girls slept the whole night in the treehouse - 2 6 year olds and Hansi Hinterseer concert loud and clear over the road - I think he rocked them to sleep ! They busked the next day and made €14,00 - not bad eh !



We went to the Lamprechtshöhle with the kids and somebody thought we were a Kindergarten group because there were so many of them there - 11 kids and 4 girls - we lent out a couple though.









Take care xxx
