Playground with Emmanuel


We went to the new playground with Emmanuel today, and now it's time for photo overload!

(Both boys had their bike helmets on, and neither wanted to take them off.)

First, some fun on the seesaw.




And now this swings:






And, of course, the spinning climbing structure...







At this point, David slipped away, quickly and quietly, when he noticed that Emmanuel's crane had been left unattended. He grabbed it, peeked over his shoulder (I swear!) and ran far, far away to play with it.


While Emmanuel chatted with Michael:



After the park, Michael, David and I stopped at our favorite restaurant for dinner. It's right down the street, the owner loves David, it's extremely inexpensive and delicious, AND, if we eat outside, David can bring his Bobby Car.

It doesn't get much better than that.

Now I have a confession. When I first got here, I thought German food was the pits. Now I find myself wondering what I'll do without it! (The answer, of course, is that I will gorge on Mexican food, but that's not the point.) The first time I saw this meal, I thought it was the nastiest idea ever. I mean really, who eats fried eggs on pork chops?


I do.

I do, and I love it, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Michael does , too, for what it's worth.

Oh how I will miss Schnitzel mit Spiegelei und Bratkartoffeln.

But since that would be a weird photo to end with, I leave you with this...
