Just a friday...Tessa's party and the circus

It was just a Friday - first a birthday party for Tessa (she turned 2) with some fun and playing with Emma as well....followed by a long night in the circus. With elefants, tigers, camels, acrobats and more - Ronja did not want to go home and stayed til the grand finale at 11pm!

Fall Biking in the vinyards

What a sunny and warm 1st of November - we used it for a fall bikeride thru our vinyards!

Thailand - Beach life

On Koh Phangan Ronja enjoyed the sunshine and water a lot - our cottage was 5m from the pool and 20m from the beach - what else do you need? Well the hammock on your porch, googles (to see the fish), her swim belt to run to the pool and jump in (and not to drown) ...and some swings at the palms along the beach - nice! ...and every night a lovely sunset...

One trip let us to a lake where they had trampolins in the water - to jump on and in - very nice!

Thailand - new things to see and explore

In Thailand Ronja could see a lot of new things - how people cook along the street (and that those chicken BBQ sticks were very yummy ;-) - the grasshoppers not that much...

The Temples with the golden Buddhas she loved (sat still in front of them completely fascinated)

She joined us for cooking class and loved to watch her friend "A" to prepare Sushi...

She got the opportunity to sign a golden book for the kings birthday...

as well as to fill up gas for our little scooter - you buy it by the bottle and the pic shows a typical "gas station"

sometimes she met local kids in her age to play a bit with - one night she run with Kon for an hour along the market street

Thai massages are something typical - Ronja really lay down for a full hour to enjoy her massage and the fish spa with cleaning fish was just fun!

Thailand - 3 weeks of traveling and fun

There were many ways to travel for Ronja in the last 3 weeks - by plane to Thailand (with really good meals), by boat on the river in Bangkok and ferry to the island of Ko Phangan, by Tuk Tuk (which she loved),

by the local way to go: scooter while standing in the front and helping her dad to drive ;-)

...in all kind of taxis (definitely without car seats...)

by train - overnight to the south - with beds and very green curtains to hide...

...sometimes she walked (along the beach) or even hiked up to a lookout point thru the jungle...and a lot of the time she got carried by her mother!

Biking at the castle "Teck"

Another weekend - another castle to conquer - this time with the bike all the way up to the "Teck" - Daddy really had to work hard but the view was worth it :-)

Farewell from "Sternchen" Daycare

Time to say goodbye - with lots of hugs! After over 1.5 years in her daycare "Sternchen" Ronja left for Kindergarden. She really had a blast at her last day with her best friends Helena and Valentin and her favorite teacher Marina. From now on she calls herself a big girl and joins the "Gluehwuermchen" (fireflies) just next to my work - less driving for mama every day - hurray!
