Germany Wrap Up

Here we are into our first week of Fall and I am still recapping our summer trip to Germany.  This will be the last post on our trip.

We tried to take some cousin pictures and it is not an easy task to get them all to look.
Three is still possible.....

You throw in two more and it gets challenging

This is the best we can do

Then you throw in one grandma.....

This girl is always ready for a picture

The Cologne soccer team had their last pre-season game while we were there, so I took Evan to it.  We had such a fun date night.  It was hot out, but thankfully the stands were in the shade.

It was such a fun atmosphere at the pre-season game with lots of goals.

 Evan was really excited to see so many goals.

 

 He got to have a coke and French fries, so his night was made.  A cold beer for me and we were both happy!

It is just so much fun when I get to spend some one on one time with the kids.
Meanwhile the girls had fun at my moms house with their cousins.

I got to have a fun night out with Janina.  She invited me to go see a musical.  The show was great and we had a wonderful night out.
Not sure if this show exists in the US, but it was called "Dance of the Vampires" and was really fun.

We had some professional pictures taken of all the cousins as well and they turned out so cute.  You can't even tell that the kids were not cooperating very well and there was a lot of bribery going on.....gummy bears and ice cream was promised.

The promised popsicle.....

My phone stopped working the night of the soccer game, so I have had to collect some pictures from Scott's phone and my mom's phone.....still missing some of our adventures.

We went on another "field trip" and took the ferry across the river to play putt putt and eat more ice cream.  

At this point the kids were so hot and did not feel like taking pictures.

This wraps up our Germany trip.  We had a little bit of a change in plans the day I was supposed to fly back with the kids, because Nora ended up getting sick the night before.  She had a high fever and I couldn't fly with her.  So, we had to change all of our flights and ended up staying almost another week.  We re-booked our return trip and flew into Ft Myers, FL and spend a day on the beach before making our way home.
