marquartstein fairy tale park in germany

Lilja and I met aran, his parents, his brother, wife and tae in marquartstein, Germany for a week of child directed fun.. we stayed at a little fairy tale park owned by aran's cousin margeret and her husband Peter . They have two boys that kept the kids entertained on a huge trampoline almost every night . Besides jumping 24/7 we hiked, played in the park, went to chiemsee lake and rented a boat , had some amazing g food and just had great laughs.. what a vacation !

Lilja , tae, Christy and martin. 

Tae and lilja would just gave endless conversations .. would love to have been a fly in that swing ..

Strawberry picking !! Pick one, eat one !!

Chiemsee lake was one of lilja's highlights, swimming and playing with the boys 

This is lilja's face shooting a water gun in the air 

One of the highlights was this skilift up to the mountain, a hike around the mountain and then wine, beer and some amazing meats and cheeses fir dinner.. then a very wet but worth it hike back down 

Spectacular! !

Happy birthday !!

Grandma with the kiddos !!

First night out listening to some German music.. again those two just went off on their own .. real buddies 

Grandpa helping lilja with a water feature at the park .. so cool , no pun intended 

Ok, these two definitely had some  competitive edge going  

Lilja and I had kind of a long trip .. a flight, two trains , a bus and a mile walk to the park.. but lilja was a trooper.. and we can't complain, as aran was almost a day delayed :((

This ball pit was their favorite.. they would be in there for hours 

This alpine slide was very cool. From a steep climb up to a fast ride down.. very cool.. lilja and I went diwn together too and I tried to slowdown but it did not slow down.. I looked down and lilja is pushing the break forward to go faster .. she is a daredevil !!

And  another daredevil !!

But who went the fastest ??
