Mormor, Morfar, and Zaki Visit Us

My Mom, Dad and Zak came down and stayed in a vacation apartment just around the corner from us for 2 weeks. It was so nice having them even closer by us and the kids loved playing with them and jumping on them for 2 weeks straight. (Now they need a vacation to recover from their vacation..... ;D) But seriously Ty cried every night when they went back to their apartment. Anyway, while they were here we did some fun stuff. One day we went to a town called Pottenstein. They had a fun Alpine slide that we went on a couple of times and these fun jumpy things that the kids tried and loved. Here's Laney almost doing a flip.
...and Ty. He looks grumpy but he loved it. So much so that he cried because he only got to try it once.
Close by there is also a stalactite cave you can take a tour of. My mom is a wee bit claustrophobic so she stayed in the car but the rest of us went. We should have left Ty with her though because he was freaking out the whole time. He was crying and shaking because he was scared and cold. At one point I asked him what he was scared of and he pointed and replied, "Goooo oooouuuttt!" Poor little feller.
There were a ton of cool bones from cave bears.

The pretty view from outside.
You can kind of see the entrance to the cave on the right side of the picture.
One day my parents and Zak took the kids to Playmobil Land. They had so much fun. They had also been really excited to go. Laney counted down the days til they went.

Taking care of the Playmobil cows.
Princess Laney and Prince Ty with the Playmobil King and Queen.


I was told they had some fun rafts they went on.
Morfar, Zak and Laney on another kind of raft. They LOVED it and Ty often ask me if we can go back there, which we definitely will have to one of these days.
One day we went to the playground and hung out. Laney loves to read and is really good at it, but when she's reading you cannot get in contact with her. If she's reading on the couch she normally is almost upside down with her long legs draped up the back of the couch and then you can yell and scream at her and she still won't hear you. So one this day, walking home from the playground she was reading while walking.
This is from the fun lake by our house....and those are my decapitated children and Zak making sure the heads down roll away.
And finally going out on the lake in a paddle boat. The kids loved it and want to do it again. My mom and I held down the fort up on shore and made sure Nyah was okay. Thanks for coming and playing and hanging out with us. We had so much fun and can't wait for the next time you come.

Our New Favorite Place...

There is a lake called Kleiner Russweiher about 2 km from our house. They have a little kids area with a little slide in the water, a playground, a volleyball area and a place to rent paddle boats. The kids and I went with my mom, dad and Zak last Monday and then the kids went with mormor, morfar and Zak again last Friday. It's so nice and the kids LOVE it. They could stay there all day playing in the water.


Morfar and Zak took Laney and Ty out on a paddle boat ride. They loved it and were so excited that they got to steer the boat and paddle.
We'll definitely be back and probably spend all summer there to cool down.

Nyah's Photography Session

Nyah and I had a little photography session where we did some experiments with baskets, blankets and different cute hair things. It was fun for me and Nyah just liked laying on the soft blanket! :D

The Stork Is Circling the Neighborhood


Today is my original due date but since they bumped up my due date to June 26th I'm almost a week overdue.
We just barely got home from the doctor's office and this is what we saw on top of the apartment building across the street from us. Is that a sign or what???





Anyway the doctor said that if I haven't gone into labor on my own by tomorrow I have an appointment at the hospital for an induction at 7:30am on July 2nd.
