Our token "in the car" photo
Leaving Papa can sometimes be a challenge~
Dodging oncoming cars in your lane, farm equipment, people on bikes, people on foot...
Yesterday we saw all that!
Bikes
farm equipment
I wasn't quick enough to photo "oncoming traffic in our lane"
Storks~ Sorry they are hard to see with the contrast of the church.
The next photo is off center but you can see them better. We were moving as I snapped these.
What a Beautiful Sunday Morning~ Starting our day off with a podcast sermon from our most favorite church ever!
This is my second time listening to "Why Pray?" Its one I love!
Jared hadn't heard it yet so I chose it for our car ride!
Getting closer!
We made it! Now... to find Parking. (Which ended up being 23 euro's)
The entrance courtyard - there were quite a few people here!
Had a little lunch here~
We found out when we got to the top of the hill we could have taken the train up!
Oh well it was a good hike!
Open wide! (do you see the floor?) look at the photo below for more detail.
It was a really cool floor!
Ceiling in the palace entryway.
Waiting in line to do the palace tour, looking out the door to the grounds.
*There are no photos of the tour, sadly you cant take pictures inside the palace tour.
Buggy ride
The Gloriette
One of Gunners favorite areas
Gunner and I were a team and Caden and Jared on this maze
We won! ~ They are still stuck in the maze!
Now off to that maze!
They decided they were going to be a team!
A finger Maze
Entrance challenge~ Don't get sprayed!
It got him!
and her.....
We made it to the maze of mirrors~
Look how big the spray is if you work together!
Gunner saw this bird and he knew instantly he wanted to go in it!
When others pull on teh cords it makes the bird lower and raise as its wings flap.
For a moment I was sure he was going to fall~ but he did great getting down.
We are headed to the hill~ Time to climb up to the Gloriette
The big fountain
We made it to the top.
Now to climb the stairs to the top of the Gloriette.
View from the top!
Back down on the bottom ~ Time to hike back down the hill!
Entryway into side gardens
Guard stand
Green houses
Side view of the Palace
Apple Strudel Baking show.
We got a free sample! It was good!
Shes messy!
Oven
On the drive home~
The moon was so big and beautiful!
Hey look there's a hot air balloon!
Me: "I think its landing, wish we could see that!"
Getting closer- Me: "I'm sure it will land way out there!"
Me: "Jared look! Is it going to hit that house?"
It put more heat in the balloon and rose just above the houses
and power lines and brushed against the tree on the left.
This was in a small town just outside of papa~ as we drove on out of the town the locals were all coming out of there house to see what was going on. (a few younger ones, running to go see where this balloon was headed.)
