A visit from some stateside BFFs - the Ledfords!

We were VERY excited  to have some of our American BFFs visit - the Ledford clan!  They flew into Germany in route to a family reunion in France and made a quick stop at our place on both the front and the back end of their trip.  We only wished we could have seen them longer, but it was great to spend what time we could with them.  We have known the Ledfords since Taryn and Austin were one year and Leena and Kolby were three years old.  Needless to say, the Ledfords have doubled the number of kids in their household since we have known them!  The kids have always got along sooooo well - and the adults too!  Here are some pics of our only full day together.  We spent the day exploring downtown Heidelberg.  We hope to catch up with them Stateside next summer/fall!

Taryn and Kolby relax outside a store on the Heidelberg Hauptstraße.

Gotta have some Eis!!  You would have thought they all just saw each other yesterday.  They just picked up where they left off last summer!  We have missed these guys!

The newest Ledford additions.  Ainsley on the left (3 months) and Kennedy on the right (18 months).

We didn't see this coming!

Stopping for a shot in front of the Hotel Zum Ritter.

Five little monkeys.

The Japanese tourists could not get enough of Ainsley and Kennedy!!

A stop at a Heidelberg Spielplatz before we head home.

Just like old times!!
