Memorial Day

This Memorial day we took the 2 older children to Tanus Wonderland. This is a very old Amusment park about 1 hour away from us. It was old and raining the whole time but the kids had a blast and there were no line to wait in.

Of course no ride is complete with out an attendant (of course when there isnt one there daddy will have to take over and run it for them)


Wheres waldo? this was the bigest ball pit I have ever seen must have been 2and half feet deep as well.


Rain helps keep the lines down, and our spirits up.

Alex started wearing make-up this past week, looks like she got lessons from one of her aunts.


Lumi beats Anton, getting him used to life already.

This past week

This past week we traveled to Frankfurt so that Kari could take her GRE (Test for long term schooling back in the mid-west area). She did very well on it so be sure to let her know. (that is if you want us back in the mid-west area for a couple of years) Seeing how she much like her mother in her navigational skills, it was deceided that I should go with and explore Frankfurts intermost areas and retrieve some photos durning her 4 hour exam. So here they are + Austin who turned 4 months last week as well.

Somewhere by the rathaus.


Another place in Frankfurt with many tourist's taking pictures, I think very famous but you would have to look up on line to let ms know.

Gross Gerau

Yesterday, The older children and I rode our bikes into the town next to us (Gross Gerau). Took alook around the town and rode back. Did wear them out a bit too (the real reason we went). The town was very nice with lots of parks, fountains, little shops, and some statue's too. very German

Alex the Wally-Bird

On the sixth of May Alex was in her very first play. Where she stared in her role as a wally bird, in the modern day play of "Hansel and Gretal". It was very dark and I was busy watching the play , so I didnt get a ton of photos.
