Summer update, part 2

In the early part of the summer, our good friends, Ted and Laura came to visit.  Here they are:

We had a great time.  We took them hiking:

Ted took lots of pictures, which is why Roger and I are actually in these photos for a change.

We also went to Vianden, one of the most beautiful castles around:

The castle is perched on top of a giant hill, as so many castles seem to be.  Usually you have to walk or drive to the top, but in Vianden -- in the summer anyway -- there's another option:  the télésiege (chairlift), which swoops you up to the summit in no time at all.  The view from there is fantastic.  I'm not sure why I didn't take any pictures of it!

It was great.  Will was, once again, really impressed.  

It is nearly impossible, if you haven't noticed, to get a decent picture of this boy!

Ted and Laura, however, were much more cooperative.

So any friends and family thinking of visiting:  Come see us!  You too could have pictures like this. ;)
