Playtime in Germany

The great thing about Germany is that there are lots of playgrounds. Brandon has become quite good at climbing and sliding, and he is now loving the sandpit. Around the house he enjoys trying to walk in mom or dad's shoes and he likes to pretend to vacuum clean with dad's hairbrush. Here are a few pictures of the little man at play.

Okay mom, I'm ready to go out!

This is a little play area at the tea shop in the park in Darmstadt.

Whoohoo, I'm sailing my ship

I see some pirates on the horizon

Inspecting the structure of the house

Taking a break to chat on the phone

Yes, that's right - I've just sailed across the seas and fixed my house. Now I'm having a well-deserved break.

This is a play ground in the Oberwaldhaus, a lovely 'green' area with forest walks, bike trails and of course a beer garden. We often go there on Sunday mornings for a walk and a play. There's also a lake and lots of ducks for Brandon to feed.

Brandon's playing in the pretend natural energy house. It has solar panels and a wind generator.

Anyone with a bucket and spade can be my friend

See-saw

Oh my goodness, this is a tough ladder to climb

Finally, I've reached the top

I'll take a break and take in the view from the top

I can do this on my own but it's a big slide and I got a bit scared, dad's finger is all I need to help me down

Weeeeeeee, down I go

Teehee, I'll go with daddy this time

All that play makes one hungry
