Germany - Part 5

The Monday before we flew back, Mama and Daddy and I went into downtown Celle again. There was an Artisan Market at the castle.

I got to ride a carousel.


And I got to see a puppet theater performance with Mama and Papa.




Aftewards we ate some pizza (it was sooo yummy) and ate some gelato.

Here are a few more pics from our time in Celle:

Look - the sprinkler made a rainbow!


I got to help Andreas water the backyard.

Germany - Part 4

Mama, Daddy and I went to the zoo with Mama's Cousin Simone, her husband Andreas, their daughter Antonia and Mama's Cousin Kerstin. That was a lot of fun...and we even saw some animals.

I got to pet a pelican!


Here is Mama with her cousins Simone (left) und Kerstin (right.) I got to take this picture.


Taking a little break...


I had lots of fun with Antonia.



We also spent a day with Mama's friend Miriam and my friends Levi and Tami (Miriam's kids.) That was super-fun, too!

After 1 1/2 weeks on my bicycle without wheels, I got to try out Tami's old bicycle: without training wheels!


And look what I can do!


We also went to a great playground and played in the forest.



Afterwards, Tami and I played in the backyard while the adults talked.



Here are Mama and I with Miriam and Tami.

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.
