Lantern Festival 2006

 
 
 
Ava's school had it's Lantern Festival last night. We started at her kindergarten, then ended up in the woods down the street from our house. This was so magical! Wish we did things like this in the US!!!

Evidently, they used to be fabulous! This one was pretty lame, but Miss Ava got a taste of the giant slide, bumper cars(first time) and fresh donuts:*)

Big Wheelin' Through Our Woods

  

Is her skirt just a bit too short?...you vote!

 
This is a size 24 months that she finally wanted to wear. But, as you can see, it's a bit....short:*) She wouldn't wear anything underneath, so this is how she went to kindergarten. 

Soccergirl Friday

 
 
 
 
Had another great time this afternoon, but got really tired, and didn't want to hear the story.

I just needed 3 things: Mom, Thumb, and Chicken. 

New house, new car

  

Ponyhof....not hofbrau!

 
 
Ava and I went on an adventure to Gechingen, a village about 24 km. from our house. And just outside the village, they have a ponyhof, or a place where an adult can get a lot of exercise walking in the woods and fields while their child sits and enjoys the scenery. During our walk, Ava stopped and asked if we could look at the view, so that's why we have the second photo. And what a view it was!

So check out http://www.ponyhof-gechingen.de/programm.html for more information:*) 

Kinderfest 2006

 
Last weekend at a fest for kids in our town of Sindelfingen. They even had camel rides, which Ava didn't want to do, until after we went to dinner:*( 

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!

 
  

Princess Ava is back

 
 
If only we were alive 400 years ago....I think she would have been part of the royal court:*) 

First day in German Kindergarten

 
OK, not really, just on my way:*)
