Germany Day 5 - Great Grandkids Photo Shoot

August 7th - This was another fun filled day playing with Kai, Nora, Jana, and Emilia. Since this was the first time that all of the great grandkids were together we decided to do a photo shoot and surprisingly we all cooperated! It was another beautiful day so we enjoyed splashing in the pool and playing on the super cool swing at Kai and Nora's house. We stayed up late (well, who am I kidding....we stayed up late every night) and Mama made us glow in the dark bracelets that we had brought over. Jana spent the night at Kai and Nora's and Hayden got to watch "Finding Nemo" in German. I slept with Oma at Oma Waltraud and Opa Richard's house again. Here are pictures from the day....
Hayden loved Nora's vacuum cleaner.

Germany Day 4 - Jana and Emilia Came

August 6th - Ulla, Katrin, Jana and Emilia came to visit! It was a hot day so Michelle set up the pool in her backyard and we had fun playing and splashing. We also went back to Oma Waltraud and Opa Richard's house and played there for a while. That was our routine most days....Kai and Nora's house in the morning and then Oma Waltraud and Opa Richard's house in the afternoon.

Germany Day 2 - Fun with Family

August 4th - After getting a good night's sleep. Oma and I headed over to Kai and Nora's house (I slept with Oma almost every night at Oma Waltraud and Opa Richard's house).
