Germany - Part 3

Next we spent a few days on a farm on the North Sea. That was awesome! Here are a few of the things we did:

This is what a "Strandkorb" looks like?


I got to play in a great fountain, too.


We tooka ship to the island Langeoog.


I had to try to call my friends from the phone booth. Why doesn't it work without money?


We went for a walk...


...and ate gelato.


I collected sea shells as well.


On the farm, I got to ride a pony. It was this big!





I got to ride the big go-cart, too.


I got to dig in the Watt.



It was really windy!


I did snuggle with Mama a little bit.


And at dinner Mama read me a new book.

Germany - Part 2

The next day, we drove to Hannover to visit Moni and Hans-Jürgen.

I got a really fun puzzle from them and am working on it in this picture.


Oma and Opa bought me a bike without pedals ("Laufrad") there. It was super-cool!



On our way back to Celle, I told Daddy that there are a lot of nice people in Germany. :)

On Saturday, I ate green gelato... It was the first of many.


On Sunday, we met Karin, Moni, Hans-Jürgen, Simone, Andreas, and Antonia for cake and coffee.

Eating cake with Tante Moni:


And then I got to play at a playground in the forest.

Germany - Part 1

We got back from Germany today. We spent two great weeks there. We have over 500 pictures to go through, so it will take a while to get everything up on the blog.

Here I am on the flight from Dallas to Frankfurt.

I got to pick out the yellow airpline for the flight.


I ate a sandwich, too.


This little screen is so cool!


We finally arrived at the train station in Celle.


At first, I was still a little shy...


...But then we went to a restaurant with a neat playground.


And then I played with Florian.

"N" Day

Today was "N" Day.

For breakfast, I got to eat pancakes with Nutella.


Of course ("natürlich) I had to ride my bike today. That's my favorite thing to do!


I also made a hippo ("Nilpferd") with Mama.




For lunch, I got to eat pasta ("Nudeln") with cheese sauce...aka mac and cheese. That's one of my favorites.


Mama also trimmed my nails ("Nägel.")



In the afternoon ("Nachmittag,") I got to eat a miniature nut cake ("Nuss-Napfkuchen.")


The powdered sugar tickled my nose ("Nase.")


I also played my harmonica quite a bit. Maybe it's about time I learned to read notes ("Noten.")

"M" Day

Yesterday was "M" day. Did you know that "M" is my favorite letter? After all, Markus starts with "m."



I helped Mama grind ("mahlen") flour ("Mehl.")



I had to take my medicine ("Medizin") too.


And then I played with Mack.


I made music ("Musik") with my new harmonica ("Mundharmonika.")


For lunch ("Mittagessen") I ate Milchreis.


After lunch, I got tired ("müde") and took my nap ("Mittagsschlaf.") Afterwards, I got to eat ladybug cupcakes ("Marienkäferkuchen") with M&Ms on them.


Mmmm...yummy!

"L" Day

Today was "L" day. I'm sick again, but we still had fun.


We played the piano and sang songs ("Lieder.")


And then we played with my Lightning McQueen bucket and my Legos ("Legosteinen.")



And I'm not too sick to laugh ("lachen") either.


We read my lighthouse ("Leuchtturm") book, too.


For lunch I ate lentil soup ("Linsensuppe") and after my nap, I got to eat Lego cookies.
