Vacation Day #2

Saturday July 7, 2007

Today we woke up and took the kids to a Park / Walking Path. The Walking Path was also a Fitness Path. You move a long and at different parts of the path were different things you could do. Like rings, or a pull up bar, beam for jumping back and forth, ect. We walked around the course first and the kids had fun getting on every piece of fitness equipment that was there. On the other side, was a fun park. It had a zip line and that was a hit for all the kids, including little Miss Emma. Now most parents probably would never of allowed their 2 year olds on such a thing. But Emma has no fear and after having so many kids, it is not such a big deal to me anymore.

After the park, we hiked to the top of this hill. It really was steap and it took me ½ an hour. But it was beautiful at the top. At the top, you could see all of Lengede.

We took the kids over to a lake. The weather had been over cast and it did look like rain. But the kids were in their clothes and just playing on the sand with their feet in the water. All of a sudden, it started to rain. And not just a little sprinkle, but a down pour. We ran to the car. We were Soaked. We sat in the car for five minutes and then went back to the lake. The rain had stopped just as fast as it started and the sun came out.

Sibylle’s mom did a lot of cooking. On Saturday, we ate Schnitzel, Brats, Soup, Pommes and Brotchen. We were really pampered from the Gross Family. They refused to let me help with anything telling me I was on vacation. I felt funny not helping when I am the one with the five kids.
