My cousin, Hans, has just bought a new house. He said we could come and visit.
We turned up about 5 days after he moved in. I can't believe how well he was settled in already.
It has been lovely to just have somewhere to stop and relax for a few days.
The boys loved having another uncle to wrestle with...
After 10 consecutive days of visiting castles, cathedrals, abbeys and ruins it was quite nice to go to a shopping mall.
Stopped in at the library to read some books.
Back at the house they discovered that Hans had a game of Monopoly. They played one very long game on the first day and about 3 games per day since.
One of the highlights of our visit here was Alex finally loosing his first tooth. And he is very close to loosing no.2 as well.
Went for a walk to the local park.
Not only did Hans cook us some wonderful meals, but he also offered to take the boys out for a day.
So, last Sunday they first went to have a look at his work (he is a vet) and saw some dogs, cats and rabbits. Next they went to a park and had an ice cream and then pedal boats, then slides and bouncy castle...
A pretty good day out for them and a rare and lovely kid-free afternoon for us.
Some late night posing and dancing.
More wrestling....
This was the boys' favourite ride ever! Why?
On Tuesday we went to the mall, and the boys went for a sit on this recycling truck. Alex pushed some button and out fell £2 pounds!! They spent ages deciding how to best spend their money. They finally decided on £1 of sweets and 4 frisbies for £1.
A couple of days later we were back and the boys went to push the buttons again. And out came another £1! They bought more sweets with that.
Obviously they wanted to go back again the next day. This time the ride spat out £4!! They borrowed £1 from us and bought themselves 2 DVDs - Madagascar 2 and 3.
Yesterday we went back for the last time and they got another £3. They paid back their debt and are saving the rest...
I sure wished we had a ride like this when I was a kid...
After 10 days with Hans it was time to get going again. We were spoilt with a lovely breakfast this morning.
And then it was time for goodbyes....
We all had a great time and the boys enjoyed getting to know you, Hans. Thank you so much!
