The Fun Continues . . . at Europa Park

Well, the fun continued with more band practice, playing soccer, watching the women's World Cup soccer match at the ice cream shop (GO USA!), a trip downtown for shopping and more pictures, swimming and making music videos, but the highlight was an entire, beautiful, uncrowded, rainless day at

EUROPA PARK!

Christian just had to get his picture taken with the princess when we arrived:
(that is one lucky princess!)


The kids rode EVERY roller coaster -- some several times!


Well, actually, Lissie and Ezra went out on their own a couple of times while the others rode

Blue Fire and the Silver Bullet

(and I was thinkin' along those same lines for almost every roller coaster choice)

Hey, it was Ezra and Lissie that got the cool pic out in front of the Blue Fire!


There were opportunities to GET WET!


. . . and plenty of reasons to SMILE,


. . . or to be caught OFF GUARD!


Here they all are at the end of the day -- just a little more tired. I'm thinkin' roller coasters can cause some wear and tear! Ezra and Bryant weren't so sure they had the willpower to pose for just one more picture. In the end, though, they proved to be characteristically cooperative!


Christian, Lissie, Taylor, Matthew, Ezra, Bryant

I have one more pic to add to this post once I get it scanned. It is from the Poseidon roller coaster experience . . . the boys are flexing and the girl is screaming -- most definitely worth checking back in later!

More FUN to follow . . .

  2. Just reading this post made me exhausted!!! I would've been right with Ezra and Lissie... We went to Lagoon 4th July w/e and all I rode was the ferris wheel. Haha! And even that scared me with how high it went... :P
    I'm excited to see the Poseidon picture!!
