She has called Daphne to tell her that she is coming over and taking Daph to go do things: go to the grocery store to explain some products, go to Ikea to look around, go for coffee.
Today she and her family (from Ohio ex-pat assignment) invited us to a special beer garden party to celebrate the end of summer.
If you look closely at the picture, you can see it says "Jazzbiergarten". They have a beer garden where you can listen to live jazz music. This is a pretty ok country no matter what Daph tells you people on the phone.
Since it was the 'end of summer' party, they had face painting and other things for the kids. They also had a trampoline. The pictures don't do the trampoline justice.
Now - Daph doesn't like trampolines - but I figured, what could go wrong? We don't speak the language, I am not sure how the insurance works, we are surrounded by beer drinkers, I don't have a car, there doesn't seem to be any emergency people around, trampolines are inherently dangerous... what the heck.
Look at Brian's face.
This is the kid hit by a pipe earlier in the day.
Later came the face painting.
More pictures.
I absolutely LOVE the pics! If I didn't know any better, I'd say that all of you are actually enjoying yourselves ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend you guys had (despite the pipe to the face - Brian is quite the trooper). How can you beat, beer, jazz, ice cream, chess and for an added bucolic touch, a NJ deer on his own sabatical??!!! Where can I get a trampoline like that???
Thanks for the awesome weekend commentary!

Love the new photos and all the details. Looks like a very fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteWho needs (or wants) a car when you have all those beer gardens anyway? Especially now that Daph has a train pass...
Take care,
Beth
