No Pictures!

Mommy wanted to say that she was sorry. She tried to upload more photos but it wasn't letting here. Sorry...

France-Strasbourg

This weekend we left Germany and drove to France. It was about a 3 hour drive from where we were staying in Germany. On the way there we saw all of these towns in the hills. Mommy said we were in the Black Forest. When we got to our hotel last night we parked our car and ran out into the pouring rain. It was so cold. Then we walked around trying to find a restaurant. I tried to get mommy and daddy to eat a McDonalds again but they both said no. We found a pizzeria that was run by an Indian family. Daddy thought that was a very od combination. Mommy ordered Lasagna and daddy ordered a pizza. I shared with them but I did order a drink, a Schweppes. Mommy thought that it was going to be a ginger ale (they didn't have milk or sprite). Here Schweppes is an Indian tonic. It tasted good at first and then it had this really bad taste. I tried it with a lemon but that didn't work either. After that we were still hungry so mommy and daddy took me to McDonalds. I was so excited! Then today we started our day with a pain au chocolat. Mommy insisted that we try one. It was very chocolatly and yummy. Then once mommy and daddy finally figured out the tram (subway) we headed into the city center. When we got off the tram it was snowing and blowing so hard. It was so cold! We finally made it to the catherdral. We watched a presentation on the astronomical clock. It was a video about a very, very old clock in this very old church. Then we looked around the church. I got to light another candle. I am getting really good at praying for people. Then mommy bought me a really pretty rosary. I think it is a very beautiful necklace with Jesus on it. Then we walked around the city and found lunch. I had a ham sandwich and a dessert, chocolate mousse. Then we walked around some more trying to stay warm. We went into a few stores everything was very expensive. We tried on some purfumes and then we found a movie theater with english movies. So instead of taking a nap we went to a movie. Mommy and daddy were hoping that I would fall asleep in the movie but I fooled them and fell asleep the last 5 minutes of the movie! Joke was on them. Tomorrow we are hoping to have a better day for the boat ride down the river and then we are going to the art museum to see some guy named Monet's paintings. Below our some pictures from today. The other camera took better photos but daddy gave that cord away to his friend. Mommy hopes that he gets it back soon.

Update from Germany

Hello everyone. Mommy and I arrived in Germany last Saturday evening. Daddy picked us up from the airport in Stuttgart. I was so excited riding on the airplane. I got to eat dinner on the airplane. I thought that was so cool! It was very hard to sleep on the plane though. We had a long layover in London and it was at 3:30 in the morning in North Carolina. Mommy was so tired. We had a Starbucks and fell asleep watching airplanes. Then when we got to Stuttgart we went to Wilhelmina Zoo on Sunday. It is a very big zoo. We saw penguins and seals and lizards, jellyfish and monkeys. Then we drove to Rulflingen, the town where we are living. We have a very nice apartment and I have my own bed. I love watching German cartoons. I watch Dora and Pinky Dinky Doo. Since I have been here we have went to a St. Martin lantern parade. St. Martin was a man who gave his coat to a poor person. All of the children carry lanterns through the town and then at the end we have kinderpunch(hot punch) and gleuvine (spiced wine) and a St. Martin pretzel. Then we also went to a market and I got to ride a carousel. I have been trying a lot of different foods. I have tried a Doner Kabab (Turkish Gyro). I have tried lots of different noodles, cereals and bread.
Mommy and daddy took me to this fun place called Happy Land. I got to drive a gokart and climb and jump. Then we went to Mcdonalds. They have this cool straw that makes the milk chocolate.
Mommy and I went to a castle and learned all about the princess that lived there.
Then we went to Munich this weekend. We got to go into this big church and listened to the choir sing. Then we went to a market and ate a weisswurst sausage sandwich and walked around, mommy and daddy have been drinking lots of beer. There is so many cool things to see here. We have seen a lot of people playing music and statues that are real people.
My mommy says that she will add pictures later. Tschues!

Halloween Night

On Halloween night I wanted to be Belle. Mommy tried to get me to stay as hokapontas but I wanted to be Belle. It got a little chilly as Belle! But I had so much fun with my friend Kennedy. There were some spooky houses like this one with a mummy in the corner and a scary guy that came out and said, I am not so scary. Mommy couldn't believe how picky I was when picking out my candy! I took forever.

Halloween at School

At school I decided to be "Hokapontas" for Halloween.
We got to play a lot of fun games like hot potato and pumpkin toss. I had a lot of fun.

State Fair

Mommy, Nicole and I went to the State Fair on Sunday. I had so much fun! I got to ride a lot of fun rides. This is a picture of a cotton bush. In Michigan mommy says that they don't have cotton growing like this.
Here I am on the dragon roller coaster! It was so much fun.
I went on this super spinny ride with mommy!

Carving Pumpkins

The night before daddy left for Germany we carved our pumpkins. I picked a Frankeinstein for daddy and I, Nicole picked out a scarey cat and mommy made her own. Daddy thinks that mommy was smart for making her own!
