Bierhelder Hof Beer garden

Just 20 minutes on a city bus from the center of the town we can get to a nice beer garden with old chestnut trees that is in the middle of teh country side and woods.  A sunny and warm Saturday afternoon was a good time to check it out

Around the corner was nice playground and also many cows - so Mia enjoyed the place as well

Heidelberg Police Headquarters

The Heidelberg Police Headquarters - not too far from our new place - offered a guided tour for young children on a Tuesday afternoon. A good opportunity to Mia to explore the local police

There was a collection of police hats

and uniforms

 Stop!  Police!

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
