Zugspitze

Zugspitze (pronounced in Felicity phonetics "zuug-shpits-uh".. technical, right?) Isn't it beautiful (the mountain, not the name)? It's the highest peak in Germany coming in at 9,718 feet*, with a cable car that takes you all the way up to the top of it.

*Utah friends, don't laugh at it's lack in comparison to your mountains! ;)

Blissful kid-- with no idea how high above the ground we are and how high we are going... though, he probably wouldn't care even if he did. His mother, on the other hand, had a minor anxiety attack. Nothing traumatic, just tears streaming down my face for most of the ride up. I blame the jerk-face standing next to me who blocked my access to holding onto the wall like he was blocking a game ending soccer goal. I was totally fine on the ride down.


Seriously... can you blame me? *shudder*

My sweet man.

Tamar hiked out to the literal highest peak. I'm content to say that I was about 20 feel lower than the actual point. haha! Go Tamar!

View of Lake Eibsee.

Of course as we were cooking down at the bottom of the mountain, we were freezing our bums off at the top. SNOW, people-- in mid-JULY. It was awesome. Freeeeezing, but awesome.

What a good aunt-- she had both of my big boys throw snowballs off the highest peak in Germany. How many people can say that? Right? That can be one of their random things to use in those "get to know you" games that they'll play for the rest of their lives!

Family photo fail #... 4? I'm losing track. :)

In the winter they have skiing in a bowl at the top of the mountains. We just might have to visit again-- though, maybe we'll take the train up instead of the cable car. ;)
