Life is sure tough when you get dragged across the world by your parents.
Are you sure the library is open mum?
First there is all the science stuff they make you learn in really boring ways.
Team work is required but not always done willingly.
They made us build our own house. There are no photos of the plumbing section it was just too tricky.
Actually you can see the toilet in the background.
Ok, bubbles are just fun but they take lots of concentration when they are huge.
Not to mention all the obstacles of living in another country.
Then they make you pose for this photo for nearly 3 minutes.
Of course they let us have fun sometimes...
Though it did rain for the first hour of this frizzbee training session.
We get to participate in the black dog exchange programme. We swapped our black dog Kaiser who stayed in Australia for the black dog next door called Lola for 2 weeks.
And there is a really steady supply of Nutella. This time on crepes in a friend's garden.
Then back to the hard work of board game playing. Here we must thank all the friends who have lent us games when our horrible parents made us leave all our toys behind.
But they did take us to a fair and actually let us go on a couple of rides.
"Dad, I don't really see how this is teaching me about ancient history AHrrrrrrr!" said the Bear
Then there is the endless live theatre. Every Sunday for the last 3 weeks. Poor, poor us. They say it is good for us and even better as it is free!
Us reinventing "Wo die wilden Kerlen wohnen" ("Where the Wild Things Are") in the old zoo gate.
And they ship us off to swimming lessons!!!!!
Including our adventure to the salt water pool by our fantastic neighbours in their wohnwagen.
We don't know why Mum freaks out that the coast is so far away,
there seems to be plenty of water around here.
Ok we give in we can't complain, if only we didn't have to ride our bikes everywhere. Oh, hang on a minute that is the part we love the best. "Mum, don't forget that our street is a one way street. We know what the police told you the other day as we rode up it the wrong way, even though you translated it a bit differently to us we know that if you get caught again it will cost you 20 euros. Remember we can speak german too."
