Down on the Farm

What would a week in our home be without any animals? This time, the kids weren't the animals (unless you count their behaviour sometimes). We went to another city to an old farm that (I think) the city bought and made into a place for families to visit. Kind of like a petting zoo. Anyway, there were woods all around and animals for the kids to see as well as a playground. And it was COLD. We had to argue to get them there and argue to get them to leave though. The kids visited the animals and went walking through the leaves in the woods, climbing old, fallen trees, and ate Bratwurst with us.

Here's also a photo of Nils watching TV. Of course, this was the first and only time ever he's seen TV, right?? Ha ha! How do you think he became our boy genius and knew how to read his ABCs at 16 months? Sure Leap Frog annoys me, but it has its merits.... And, no, he doesn't always watch TV like that. He's usually licking it.
