4 Years Ago...

We were there!!!
Germany hosted the last World Cup while Ty and I were there. We didn't actually get to go to any of the games, but we could feel the excitement in the air. Every city we went to, even the little cities had a huge screen in the center of town where people gathered together to watch the games. We were in Berlin for Germany's first game in the 2006 World Cup, and we joined all the crazy people behind the famous Brandenburger Gate to watch Germany win. It was so fun and exciting! Ever since then, Ty has become a huge soccer fan, and this year we've really enjoyed rooting on the USA together as a family from our couch (and getting upset at the ref every time we watch replays of the goal that didn't count!)

The screen behind the Brandenburger Gate. If you look really closely you can see the side of my head!

Frankfurt, by far, had the coolest set up. They put a big huge screen right in the middle of the river Main!Heidi, Jeffrey, and Ty in front of the screen.
