Wiesbaden

A few weekends ago we went on a day trip to Wiesbaden.  It's a quaint old German town with a great atmosphere.  The American Military Base is nearby so there were lots of  English speaking people around.  We arrived at 11, had a short wonder around and found a place for lunch.  We then walked through the alleyways for a while and went and relaxed in a lovely park before heading home.

This is where we ate lunch - can you spot us?

The town square

Brandon decided he needed a short break and he thought the people sitting on the stairs had the right idea.



Excellent, a lovely looking lawn I shouldn't be on!

Teeheehee, mom and dad will never catch me

Two Babies in a Bed

These are some photos I took ages ago, Teah was six months and the two kids had just woken up from their afternoon nap and thought it was hilarious to be in the same cot together.

Heidelberg

On Friday we decided to visit Heidelberg.  With two kids with low boredom thresholds, we decided we would just take it easy and not try to see too much.  It is only a 45 minute drive from Darmstadt and we can go again some other time.  We arrived mid-morning and after finding a place to park the car we headed to the Old Town.  We immediately found a bakery since it was Teah's feeding time and both Brad and Brandon were in need of a snack.

At the Bakery

Teah got stuck into this apple after Brandon had eaten half of it.

Getting the pram all sorted out so we can do some exploring

There was a slight chill in the air and I had the little pair of green socks in the diaper bag so at least Teah's toes were warm.

Teah's debating drifting off for a bit.


Brandon thought it was hilarious to have his leg hanging out the side.

Brad had crouched down to take a photo and Brandon insisted on getting out the pram to crouch down too.



We told Brandon to walk to the fountain and sit on the stairs for a photo.

That's him taking a run for it!

Made it to the stairs with a little help from mom!

Oh...that's where we left the baby!

Time for lunch

This little jar of chilli didn't make it through the lunch, Brandon dropped it on the floor.  After his lunch Brandon went to the toilet with Brad and since we've had a few issues with him not wanting to poop on the potty, I've been promising him a little treat every time he does a poop in the potty.  So he came running out of the toilet, so proud of himself, yelling 'ma, mama, poo, weewee, poo, mama' and so he kept yelling as he ran through the entire restaurant (crashing into two people on the way) and finally found our table outside. 

After lunch we took a stroll along the river.
