As I said in the earlier post, Creed's brother and his family came to visit us during spring break. We toured around Budapest for a few days and then went on to Vienna and Salzburg.
Nash is looking cool.
We really do love Vienna and it's nice that it is so close. It's only a 3 hour drive from us.

Oh course, you can't go to Vienna without getting one of their famous cakes: Sacher Torte
Don't we all look intelligent examining the beautiful works of art in the art museum? Actually, I think we are all taking in the nice couches!
Nice picture...
and well, you know. As you can see, Mallory is a bit embarrassed.
Mallory talked her brothers into giving her a shoulder ride. Clever girl, she also made up a way to steer them where she wanted them to go. She would tell them that when she pushed on them with one of her feet, that was the direction they had to turn. She had a blast. Not so sure the boys did.
Just before going on the Salt Mine tour in Salzburg. One of our favorite things to do! Don't we all look smashing?

The Hills are ALIVE!
You might recognize this building as the Von Trapp home from the movie.
What comment could I make here? Luke looks like a crazy biker!
More of the bike tour.
Creed and Nigel took the boys up to the castle.
Have you ever seen a larger pretzel?
Grant plays in a band with friends from school. They all played a Rush song for a school fund raiser.
Nash...All year we thought about him leaving. We often talked about how empty the dinner table would be with him gone. April began the beginning of the farewells and awards for the seniors and it became even more real for us. We miss this face around this house!!
And Mallory misses her beloved brother. She adores all her brothers but Nash has a little special place in her heart...now you see why. He always takes care of her.

Mallory opening our gate. I don't post many pictures of our everyday lives. Sometimes it's nice to see things like this...our house.
Nash was awarded two Academic Excellence awards. One in his Theory of Knowledge Class and one for his History class. His teachers had very kind things to say about him.
These are the seniors that completed the IB diploma. Nash is in the middle with the navy shirt.
Several faculty left this last year. Nash was asked to give the farewell to his history teacher. In the IB program you have the same teachers for 11th and 12th grades. Nash's history teacher was not only a stellar teacher but it was clear he also cared very much for his students.
