Summer Lessons

Went to Bensheim (pronounced Pfszemmpfzzhime according to Henri) to see Oma Ulla and Opa Michael for a few days. As usual on a journey there were quite a few lessons to be learned. Starting with gravity - it's fun! Especially as an accelerator of moving vehicles.

Cousins! Even more fun, because shared giggles are double giggles.

Girls are boring! Who wants to draw poooonys?! Well, actually that was Henri's take on this scene. Thora's take was more like, it's really awesome to have an aunt who knows her ponys and can draw them too.

There's only one grandma Ulla! And she is the greatest. Says so on her coffee mug. And has been proven many a times.

Pollywogs are mighty fast! But that's the thrill of the hunt. Alright, we know they're not called pollywogs in the States, but admit it - hunting for tadpoles only sounds half the fun. Also, Thora and Tomas are now from the UK.

On the way back there was a much too short detour to Frankfurt to see Eva, Paul, Maria and Tim. Who took us to a really fantastic playground. Karl was all pro teaching Henri how to operate a digger.

Henri was a good student though....

...especially when he found out that you can make a mighty good impression on young ladies when you know how to make the earth move.

Alright - what have we learned? Yes - shared giggles are double giggles! We miss you. All of you.
