Hexenwasser Day Trip

Hey All

Today we spent the day at the Hexenwasser - it's a mountain water and adventure area in Soell just a bit down the road from Kitzbühel. Fantastic weather with 5 mums and 13 kids.














Heidi & Eddie - once again check out the great outfit !!!

Jahrmarkt

Hello All

Just some photos of Jahrmarkt this year. This is the traditional festival held each year in Kitzbühel. This year there were just over 7,600 paying guests which attended. When you think that the population of Kitzbühel is 8,000 - that's quite a few people. Naturally a lot of guests turn up for this event as well.

We had a great afternoon with the kids (Eric, Tini & Amelie were there too !) and then Mike went back into town for a lovely long session and Gregor's birthday afterwards. Naturally he wasn't that lively the next day but we all had a great time.

The weather was fantastic for a change. Charly had a go at the following:

Shooting - actually got the target and won a Unicorn soft toy - like we don't have enough already !
Slingshot - hit the target and Mum had to drink the schnapps - bummer !
Cherry Spitting - hit the target
Dunkem - missed so the man didn't get wet
Tennis - how hard you can hit the ball
Handgliding
Bought - a balloon, a Jahrmarkt heart made of gingerbread, sticky candy cane and all sorts of other things !












Take care xxxooo

Mushroom & Blueberry Hunting

Hey People

Charly and I went mushroom hunting last week with Hermann and Rudi and it was a great morning. We left at 8am and headed up the Saukaisergraben to Hermann's hut which is fantastic. It was a 17km drive up the valley and well worth the trip. We managed it all the way in the van as its 4WD. We had a look around the great hut and then headed off with our buckets for blueberries and our cloth bag for the mushrooms. We spent a good hour and a half hunting around the bottom of the trees for mushrooms and got a good kilo or so. Then we headed out into the fields and picked some blueberries for our lunch !

Charly was really good and even though it was really steep she found it a great adventure rummaging through the trees and sliding around on the steep slopes. We didn't get many blueberries as picking them in the hot sunlight was a bit too much. Enough for blueberry pancakes though for 3 !

On the way back home we had to wait about 20 mins for the horses on the road to clear. Not a big fan of getting out when those big things are around so we sat in the car and tried to shoo them away. Took longer than we thought but it was a great laugh. We were surrounded on all sides by horses and they were licking the windows and trying to stick their heads through to say hello. It was a stinking hot day so you can just imagine windows closed and waiting ... Anyway they finally decided to move off enough for me to run out and open the gate and drive through before they followed us. Charly was laughing her head off at me cause I am a little scared of them ! Very funny apparently ...

Some pikkies - the horse photos were taken by Charly on my phone - that's why they are not too good !






















Heidi & Eddie - do you recognise the great clothes ??

Around and About !

Oooh lots today huh !

Just some pikkies of what we have been up to lately.




There was a Kiddies Festival at the Jochberg Outdoor Baths the other week and the girls got their faces painted and had pony rides, bouncy castle and all sorts of other things.


Madam at the computer paying a game while we were trying to sort out the office. She knows how to turn it on, go to the internet site, get her BBC game site from the favourites and play a game. No problems at all with this one !

Charly and Mike at the Santana Concert in Kitzbühel recently. We got free tickets but unfortunately Santana was too late so we just saw a couple of the bands that were on beforehand. It was a Jazz concert with a mix of bands and then the big hit being Santana at the end. We heard him real well from the lounge though when he came on, so we didn't really miss anything.


Here is the little Tennis Lady ready to go and bash a ball around ! Dosen't she look smart !


Went up the the Farmhouse Museum the other day and on the way back we took a little path through the woods which was nice. Didn't know where we were going to come out but found our way in the end.



Charly, Nepomuk and Paula with Anny and I at the country festival last Friday. The had a rodeo bull and pony rides as well as live music and lots of silly people in cowboy hats. Good for something to do with the kids though.

That's all for now. Love and kissess - Lara, Mike & Charly xxxooo

Kitz Triathlon

Hello again

Trying to update this a bit tonight. Some photos of the Kitz Triathlon which Charly and I went to watch. Fantastic weather for the kids races and ladies race. Charly was a bit hungry and so we got her a Brezen - a massive one as you can see from the photo !










I went along to watch the ladies race later on alone and met up with some friends. Lots of fun !
