I loooove castles! Also that garden looks so magical
Time together is well spent exploring a shared interest even better. Congrats!
They are going to have an art fair later in August yet weยดll be in vacations then. However, our next bigger event will be a Roman one, Bread & Circuses. When I remember right, it starts in 2 weeks. I am going to post some more of the last events we visited this week until then.

Thank you so much for sharing your pics, love the places you travel to.
Sounds amazing!
Spending time with those who we love is the best! :D I really love that wooden doggy! Very pretty!
It looks like you had a wonderful weekend - how beautiful and magical looking. I've always wanted to go to a castle, but there in very short supply in the American Midwest lol The Ren Fest is probably the closest I've ever gotten:

Oh, that looks amazing, so cute and cozy! I would have loved to be there!
Should you ever visit Germany, please stop by and weยดre going castle-hopping! ^-^

I would love to visit Germany some day - but travel is so expensive. I have German heritage on my dad's side (his grandparents were actually German immigrants) and I took German in high school, unfortunately I've forgotten 99% of it :( If I ever have the money to travel Germany is on my short list.
You would remember the words in a blink when you hear them spoken on a daily basis! ^-^

I really hope that's true, it makes me sad to think that it's all lost. I really enjoyed German and did really well in class. I did get hung up on when and how to conjugate words. I'm okay with grammar in English but I've never understood the official underlying rules and labels so trying to transfer that over into a new language really held me up. On a happier note -
I thought you and , as Supernatural fans might be curious to see what the Falls look like in Sioux Falls SD (because that's where Bobby's Salvage/home was)

If you want any of them bigger you should be able to right click on the image and then open it in a new tab/window because the original format is a lot bigger ;)


The spoiler opens yet there is no pic, love. ^-^

huh, sorry about that... they show for me... I can try reposting them or maybe now that there are new posts in the thread they'll work? Also, I can give you the direct links: Pic One Pic Two Pic Three Pic Four
Now they are viewable, they are gorgeous! I would love to be there! <3

We have this big zoo nearby where all animals have this really spacious compounds. They have three areas, Alaska, Asia and Africa. The weather was already very warm when we went there a couple of weeks ago and we found this seal family sunbathing in Alaska:
One young of them didnยดt want to be lazy, he wanted to play along. So we went into this glass tunnel and he followed us and played with us all the time, it was so cute! <3
Also, they have this amazing ice motion adventure drive there with shaking grounds and movie: ALASKA ICE ADVENTURE
And thatยดs little ice bear Nanook on her 4th day outside, she was born in December. Her mommy is Lara. Nanook

Oh wow that zoo looks like a ton of fun. Sioux Falls has a zoo too. When I went digging through my photo folders trying to find zoo pics for you I also found better pictures of the falls (and realized I really don't take enough pictures at the zoo lol) So more vacation pictures coming at ya' ;P

Oh, the fox is so cute! <3 And I didnยดt think the falls would be so flat, I thought it would be much higher!

Yeah they're definitely longer than they are tall lol
I am pondering where we got today. The weather will be nice, sunny, perhaps a little bit too hot already. Weยดll see when hubby wakes up.

Did you wind up doing anything fun today? I just had a lazy day at home - set up a new planter fingers crossed it turns into catnip lol
