We traveled to Ramstein Air Base for a long weekend. R had an appointment for his foot, so we decided to take the whole family and make a weekend of it. They have a huge PX there, which is the military's version of a department store. We are able to stay at Ramstein in a 4 BR/2 BA apartment for $52 a night, so it's a cheap vacation! : )
There is a big playground right behind the apartment building, so we spent the morning out there while R went to his appointment. The kids loved it!

| Swingin' |
 |
| "Say Cheese" |
The next day we drove to Kaiserslautern to the Dinosaur Park (Thanks Christa Dossett for the info)! The park was full of playgrounds, and over 80 lifesize dinosaur statues. Little R was in heaven!!! At least 10 times that evening after we left, he said "I had so much fun today".
 |
| Sittin' on the Throne of Stone!! |
 |
| This is the view from the Throne! |
 |
| Daddy & R gobbled up by T-Rex! R was "pulling T-Rex's teeth out"! |
 |
| Chapel built out of live willow branches, which will continue to grow and make this place even more awesome! They were setting up for a wedding while we were there...it was really cool. |
 |
| I never grow tired of this smile!! |
 |
| Ouch...he bit me!! |
 |
| All 3 of the kiddoes! |
 |
| T & A...fountain at the entrance to the park |
 |
| Gobbled up by T-Rex...again!! |
 |
| "Onward Ho"... |
 |
| This park had some crazy fast slides...we all enjoyed them!! |
 |
| This was little R's first attempt at the big slides...the worried look says it all!! R and I were doubled over laughing...little R doesn't get scared or worried about much of anything...so this expression was priceless!! But, after the first attempt he was good to go! He braved ALL of the slides...numerous times! |
 |
| This was a big wicker swing...enclosed completely...you had to crawl up in it through a hole in the bottom. I thought it was a little freaky, but the kids loved it! Little R called it "the strawberry"...not sure why?? |
 |
| All of the playgrounds here in Germany seem to have these swings. My kids absolutely LOVE them...not sure why...maybe because it's something different than what we have back home... |
 |
| My explorers! |
 |
| T and her new buddy! |
 |
| No words for this one!! : ) |
 |
Every good explorer needs a good stick! It helps in the "exploring" process!
|
All in all it was a great weekend! We ate to our hearts' content...Cinnabon, Baskin Robbins, Chili's, Macaroni Grill...all these great places that we don't have here where we live! We enjoyed our time as a family, and had absolutely beautiful weather! What more could you ask for??
