Cooking Class at Wegmann's

Ute had suggested that we all meet for a cooking class for children at a Wegmann's store not too far from her house. It turned out to be more a workshop for deserts but the children liked it of course

Mia's partner was Brooklyn

At the end all was covered  with a thick layer of white chocolate

Then we stopped at Ute's place for some dinner and the children used up some of their calories on the trampoline

 

Mia helped Brooklyn and Kross on the swing

Circus

When the Ringling Brothers stopped with their circus we went on the very first day to see them at the Verizon Center on a Thursday evening. One hour before the show the pre show started. We could walk up right to the action and it was really exciting for Mia

Some TV crews were there as well

There was a little dance performance

 Mia could pose with a clown

and the lion tamer

Then it was time for the big show.
There were tigers and lions

 There was the ring master

 There were elephants

Suzette's Suprise Party

We all were invited at Suzette's surprise birthday party. It was fun for everybody and especially the kids. Unfortunately we didn't bring the camera but a cell phone camera is better than nothing

 Mia was dancing with Kennedy

 The adults were dancing as well

St Patrick's Parade

On a cool and windy Sunday morning we decided to check out the St Patrick's Day parade in Washington DC.
There was everything to see from Irish Dance schools, Irish terriers and some leprechauns

When the parade was over Mia tried a few dance steps on her own

Then we took a little break at the corner bakery

Another Skiing Trip

After another big snow fall on Thursday with about 25 cm (10 inches) of snow we decided to drive to Liberty, Pa again for some more skiing.
On the drive on the George Washington Parkway we saw the ice on the Potomac had a thick layer of snow

All the snow looked beautiful in the morning sun

At the school Mia and Larissah had a little snow ball fight

At Liberty it was a bit crowded but we still tool the ski lift a few times

Of course Mia had the most fun with Larissah

Papa is Back

After being in Germany for five days for a business trip it was time for papa to come back home. Mama and Mia already waited outside customs at the airport

A nice person took a picture of the three of us
