A few weeks after we moved my parents came for a two week visit. The plan was that they would help us get some of the “moving in” projects done. Well, truthfully, we didn’t get many projects done, but we had a wonderful time being together. My mom spent hours every day reading books to the boys (which allowed me to get some things done!) and we also took a few short trips with them – one afternoon to Erfurt and then two days at Playmobil Land.
A side view of the beautiful Krämerbrücke in Erfurt – the only inhabited bridge north of the Alps.
Joel couldn’t resist stopping to give Hannah a kiss.
One of many beautiful buildings we saw in Erfurt.
We stopped and had Kaffee & Kuchen in the afternoon, where my mom & dad tried several different things from the bakery.

A really neat swing type thing at a nearby playground.

Now some pictures from the trip to Playmobil Land. Since we had gone last year, the boys knew what to expect, & had been talking about all that they were going to do for weeks ahead of time.
Joel can never get enough of dump trucks and “worker men” jobs!



Memaw & Pepaw both walked up one of the narrow bridges onto the pirate ship. The boys were thrilled!
