Day: May 26, 2008

Trude, Inge and Lilith at a campfire (Leilani is afraid of fires, and first played far away with my mom, then with Kiron and then told me she had to go to bed right away, only to ask for book after book to be read later)

Kiron took a lot of unusual photos with his new camera. Lilith entering the trampoline.

Walk to the horse pasture

Directly underneath the house there is a beautiful flower meadow

Walk in the forest that starts right next to the waterfall

Leilani is getting pretty good at crossing the little streams – big jump here…

…but needs a lot of help for the big crossings

She had to take all her clothes off and play and wade in the ice cold stream.

Pool with a view…

3 on the trampoline (up to 4 kids were jumping at once, 12-35kg, nobody got hurt)

The kids had so much fun in this hammock

And on the swings

while others were working hard…

I messed up most the photos – Andy has the still camera, and my video camera is not that great for stills – but I took a nice movie, Leilani met 2 big dogs at Helmut’s friend’s Barbara’s house, one 8 months old golden retriever and another one the same size and played with them for a long time. Only once one knocked her over, but Leilani totally understood it was an accident and went right back to the game. Maybe I’ll post the video here later.

The walk was interupted for a long time when Leilani met this cat.

Helmut in his living room

Leilani really likes to cut, glue, draw, paint and do crafts in general.

This painting she called: The sun shines on the big fish”

I drew a sun and asked Leilani to draw the face
