Professional Putt-Putt

This is the last Mallorca post I promise, but I had to show off our amazing golf skills. 

Towards the end of our trip we decided instead of going to a not-so-nice putt-putt course "we" would play on a real course. We got the after 5 pm special and only played 9 holes so it was basically the same price and the scenery was a bit more enjoyable. 

Stephen did all the long shots and I got to be his caddy girl/putter! 

I didn't really bring golfing attire so Stephen let me borrow one of his polos.....and it actually fit pretty good since at this point I was almost 5 months pregnant. From the front it is not so apparent, but....

from the side you can see it - although the shirt was ballooning a bit!

 We did not get the best score on the front nine, but we really enjoyed the afternoon!

 Oh and lastly, here is a picture of the cathedral in Palma, Mallorca - we visited it the day we flew out! 

It's starting!!!!!!!

Just a reminder that the Olympics starts today!!!!!!!! Sorry I have been MIA lately, we have had a lot of visitors and random events. Back with pictures soon!

Here is a link to the schedule for each event and medal ceremonies.

The horrible logo....but I still love the Olympics!

Girls gymnastics starts on Saturday with the qualifiers and the team finals are on Tuesday!

Hope you are rooting for the USA....even though we live in Germany we are decked out in red, white, and blue!

The German Slopes

One of the many benefits of living in cold weather is the occasional trip to the slopes...and I do mean occasional, this was our only visit thus far. We drove rode in what seemed like a never ending circle to a nearby mountain about 45 minutes away with our friend Joseph and hit the slopes. 

Please forgive the butterscotch hat....it was Stephen's and he insisted my cute blue cap was not warm enough!

We had our ups,

and downs,

 but really enjoyed the beautiful morning and fresh air.

In the end we survived the treacherous green slopes and even managed to keep down our breakfast on the ride home....thanks to a little myth busters trick, GINGER!

Come visit us in the winter and you just might get to see our "skills" in person!

Astounding feats of Athleticism!

I am not sure you know this, but Stephen is known around these parts as a "hero"....or at least he is in his own head. In honor of his amazing athletic talent Roland Widmann (one of our close friends) made Stephen his very own video. It may change your life, so prepare yourself.

Roland shot this video at the yearly Atomics Walk where we hike up to a BBQ area and then play games and eat all day. We enjoyed the fellowship opportunities and time to spend with Atomics Club members. It was a lot of fun this year and as you can see Stephen was the Featherball Champion!
