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!
