One day in the Zoo of Bern

For a few days now we have promised the kids that we would go to the Zoo but everytime something came in between. But not yesturday, even the weather was on our side and we were able to walk outside without our coats on. A perfect that for the zoo.

Because Hans had to work, the kids said they would make pictures for him on the little camera of all animals. Now Mellie started really well with taking picture of every animal she saw but when it was Martins turn to take picture we happend to walk past the contruction side in the middle of the ZOO and heard Martin yell:' STOP!!!! PICTURE!!!. So he took pictures of all the maschines that were there, and of yes also of one big bird that happend to be on the otherside! Boys will be boys, I quess :)

Although the kids really liked looking at all the animals, they totally loved the two playgrounds in the zoo. That's why we have spent most of our time there. But I most say it was really good. We had a great day :)

More construction

As soon as the kids found out that our neighbor was making some small repairs to the road, they went outside to have a closer look. But it didn't stop at just looking though. Only a few seconds later I found both kids with tools in the hand, 'helping' our neighbor.

Happy Birthday Melanie

Both kids knew that today would be a special day. They were up very early and ready to party.

Well, that's what we did. Together with the grandparents and Aunt and cousins we had a fun day. The kids had a great time playing with the new toys and eating cake. I just can't believe that it is already 5 years ago that Melanie was born.

Under contruction

When we were buying our house we were always wondering why our road was called river road. But this weekend it looked like we finally got our answer. Suddendly right in front of our house the water was comming up through the cracks in the street. The waterpipe unter the street was borken so luckly it wasn't a new river starting. That's why monday morning early workmen came to our street with all kinds of maschines. Martin, who was still in his pyjama's at this point couldn't wait to get out side. He even asked me if he could get dressed outside because he was scared he would miss out on the fun :). So after he was dressed we went outside so have a look what the workmen were doing. I was very happy that all got fixed before noon.
