The last snow

A couple of weeks a go, already, we where invited by Anne to have a weekend right in the middle of the upperaustrian mountains - at a tini tiny town called Hinterstoder.
We drove there by car and got caught in a snowblizzard - yes - you read right - snow in April! It made us all a tiny bit insecure, there was so much snow coming down that we almost couldn't see the street anymore. Not a lot stayed on the ground, but it was enough to cover all the green white, as you will see in the pictures.

It was such a great time! We started on a Easter Friday, it was dark when we arrived and when we woke up it looked like this



So pretty. We stayed inside for a while. Duty of the first person waking up was to make fire in the huge Kaminofen (tiled woodstove) . It takes an hour until it warms up.

The weekend went really fast, but we enjoyed a lot of time with god together, reading books, talking and singing together. And we also took walks - Anne, Sandra, Rebecca and Thomas, there:




Yep, amazing view. The snow was gone by the next day. Only spots here and there and of course on top of the mountains :)

We went for a walk twice. The second time we went to this really nice lake.




Hmmm, once there we could really enjoy the power of the spring sun.

Next day was EASTER - Happy birthday Jesus! We sang a couple of birthday songs and had a great sunday morning breakfast in the garden - And



an EASTER EGG HUNT - so much fun!

Well, it was such a great weekend (did I say that already) and it was over really fast! I am looking forward to our next time :) For those who want to see more pictures, go for it:
