Uncle Stefan and the Cousins

Uncle Stefan came with Malin and Ellis for a quick weekend visit. He also had an old desk from Ellis in his car Mia can use for her new room.
On Sunday the weather was not so great and it was raining - the first rain after a long heat wave

Even with the rain it was till fun

We stopped for lunch at an street cafe

Ellis and Mia were sitting togehter

Mia is hoping to see he big cousins again soon

An Evening at the River

On a nice warm summer evening we went the few steps from our furnished apartment to the Neckar Wiese - the large park along the river Neckar.
First we listened to a little evening concert some local musicians gave with their friends 

 Then we tried the bubbles we bought on the weekend

Then it was time to feed the ducks with some old bread

Some of them were pretty greedy

The swans liked some bread as well

Almost to dark for the playground

Heidelbergmann Triathlon

Our first Sunday after moving back to Heidelberg we watched the Heidelbergman Triathlon right at the Neckar at the doorsteps of our temporary furnished apartment.
The first swimmer was way ahead of all the others

But even the second group was pretty fast

After changing the bike part into the hills started

The last part was the running part - again into the hills

Then we watched a bit a the finish line

Later Mia could cool of a bit at the water play ground at the river

She also loved the playground with some interesting toys

Going Away Party

For two evening we met friend for a going away party on the rooftop terrace.  With all the packing we didn't really have much time but of course it was very well worth it.
The kids enjoyed the pool

The adults enjoyed the food and the beer

A visit with the Cousins

We hadn't seen Yilei and her family for quite some time since they had spent a few weeks on a long European vacation. After meeting them and Yilei's sister in-law and her kids for lunch in Yilei's favorite "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurant for lunch we went to her house.
First the kids checked out an old tent rhat we had stored at Vi's place

Then it was time to coll off at the pool

After that everybody relaxed at home
