The Cousins Have Arrived!


This summer we are fortunate to have our niece Ellen visit us until August! And our nephew Matthew is here until the end of June! They haven't even been here a full week yet but we sure have been keeping busy with them and having a blast! 

All three of my kids adore them and are just thrilled to have their cousins here.

On Saturday we went to downtown Heidelberg and enjoyed the Hauptstrasse (or walking street) and then made our way up to the Heidelberg Castle. It was a lot of walking accompanied by a bit of wining from my kiddos but a good time overall. Matthew and Ellen definitely enjoyed the day regardless of the walking. The Castle is a great local attraction here in Heidelberg.


Yesterday we headed to the Speyer Technik Museum. It houses all kinds of vehicles and has some fun rides also. We enjoyed the morning there (minus Benjamin since he still has a few days of school left!) 

It looks like we're off to a great start for super summer!

(Including a little video clip of Matthew and Samuel on one of the coin operated rides at the Speyer Technik Museum).

Love the pictures! I really love the one with Matthew, Grace and the dolls! What a great cousin he is to play with her and her dollies. Let's hope he doesn't try to put their clothes on his head.
