Opening The Beach Bum Season 2011

Even if the boys don't look like it bundled up and all: It's finally much warmer and Spring really seems to have arrived. When went for a ride to the river banks and Karl taught Henri how to throw stones in the water.



When Karl got bored, Dad took over.



Henri loved every second of our little outing and wanted to walk around the pebble beach non-stop. And all by himself if possible (not quite there yet though – a least not on a pebble beach).



Fueled by some give-away energy bars form the pharmacy, home-made orange loaf cake AND – most importantly – the first ice cream of the season, a gift from our favorite kiosk owner Frau Fingerle, Karl ventured out to do his own thing.



I followed him down the beach where he started talking up a guy cleaning his mountain bike. He called him 'Sportsman' and helped him washing the dirt off his ride. Nice gesture, right? Well, back at home all that helpfulness was somehow gone.



This is from last week, but I'm posting it just because these are so pretty.
