It's not even right...

I'm so behind here it's not even right. I just read the blog of a wonderful friend who was typing while her NEWBORN was sleeping. I have no excuse. So due to a lack of who knows what, I'm not posting the latest photos, but instead my latest drool prompter. Prepare yo' self.

Patent leather biker boots.

How in the world am I going to justify these.

The last days of Summer

After we found out we could put the girls in the local German school, we also found out we had 2 more weeks of summer than originally planned so we decided to have a little fun! This was at Eifel Park in Gondorf- excellent place! Everything from rides (and some suh-weet slides!) to animals to ball pits, to, well, we didn't even get to see it all! Here are a few photos from what we did get to enjoy (and we will so be back! Season pass next summer!)

The girls' first funny mirrors!

We make Vikings look good.

Many of the sand boxes I see here are sand houses- like this. A little house you go in, and the play sand is inside.

Also the girls first ball pit. Rather skeptical at first, but big A warmed up to it. I think little A's going to need a few more trips to be sure.

And I quote, "Yes, this is the face I want to make for the photo. I don't want  a smile picture."

"CHEESE!"

Feeding rabbits.

Big A just loves Bald Eagles, "Look Mom! It's our national bird!!"

$5 on vet. Or zoo keeper. Any takers? She didn't want to give the bird back (at all.)

The little market in Wittlich with the coolest. neighbor. ever.

Been meaning to post these ones for awhile, I confess, this was in late August, but fabulous none the less! So, I've mentioned my rock star neighbor before, but must again. I just love her! She took me with her on errands the other day (month) and this was wonderful because A) she speaks German, B) she knows where EVERYthing is, and C) (possibly the best) she knows everyone! We had so much fun! I've heard stories of the people who end up with the grandparent neighbors who just want to help you and love on your kids (CF, I'm talkin' to you!) and I finally got some! So blessed!

These vans come and circle up and they open to be little counters. This one was meat and fresh eggs (really good eggs! Nice and orange!)

They have funny little toys here and there downtown. Not like a playground, just one little rocker see saw here and there.

Yee haw!

This fab cafe (Carpe Diem- I could eat there every day) has an outdoor eating area and little tables and chairs for the kids too.
