A weekend in Germany

Last Friday was my mama's birthday and since it was the holidays we decided to take a trip to visit friends in Germany. We started at Ariane's house in Frankfurt, where Ariane's mummy Amaya spoiled Mama with a special lunch and lots of cakes. Here we are waiting for Mama to blow out the animal candles. Dada drove up to Frankfurt after work (and got stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam!) and then we all stayed with our friends for the night.

In the morning we drove to Bonn. But first we stopped in Koblenz to visit my friend Emilia. You can see her here smiling a lot because guess who is sitting next to her - me! With a funny wig on! We had some yummy spaghetti lunch and played like old friends do.

We arrived in Bonn in the afternoon and met someone very, very special - baby Bengt! He is my friend Carolyn's little brother and he is so cute and smiley. OK, he's not smiling here because I don't think he is so comfortable on my lap, but he smiled a lot while we were there. And slept a lot. In the meantime, Carolyn and I played a lot. And the mamas and dadas talked a lot. We all like getting together.

At night we went back to our favourite pub from where we used to live in the Altsadt in Bonn. Of course we had schnitzel again.

The next morning we visited some other friends, Milan and Emma, at their house. They have a beautiful garden and we kids had fun in the sunshine.

Then it was back to Carolyn's for some lunch, a nice afternoon in the playground and a last play together. I took the chance to "read" her some Pippi Longstocking stories. It was so nice to see all of our friends again and now we are hoping they will come to visit us soon!
