Like I said, it was one of those random things on a random night… Does it get anymore priceless than this?!

Know No Fear…
Last weekend was my moms birthday. I took the kids there after we went to the dino forest, so that was Wednesday. Her birthday was on Saturday and we all spent the night there. So, my parents had just the two of them for a couple of days, which was a nice end to the school vacation.
From what I understand everyone had lots of fun. Tobias played a lot of sports with Opa. Lorelei particularly loved the petting zoo. Apparently she knows no fear. We already kind of knew that, but petting every animal in there, even the big ones, including a humongous pig, a herd of goats and this cow! I remember my own fear of such big animals and to be honest, I am still not that comfortable around cows and horses and such.
But as you can see Lorelei does not seem to have that problem at all 
Pool Family
It is rare to find our entire family in the pool. Usually we are over in Texas during Christmas. Occasionally I will go in the pool, but I have to admit, the water is cold that time of year. Last year we were in Texas during the may vacation, which is the beginning of may. To me, the pool was nice then, and to Tobias too, but the rest of the family was hard to convince.
This time around, the pool was perfect, for all of us. We pretty much went in the pool every day we were there, and not just Tobias and me, Lorelei and Lisa as well. Loads of fun and loads of memories.
Be that as it may, this seems to be the only picture taken of all of us together in the pool. I am very happy it was taken and it is one of my favorite pictures of this vacation!
The Three Daughters
So, we went on vacation to visit friends. Particularly to visit Lisa’s best friends Bella and Josephine. Lisa was the last in line to have one, but since Lorelei was born these friends all have a daughter. So, introducing…. The Three Daughters!!! (left to right): Katy (Bella’s girl), Lorelei (Lisa’s girl) and Piper (Josephine’s girl). Aren’t they an adorable bunch?
Lorelei had great fun with these girls as she got lots and lots of attention from them. They held Lorelei, played with Lorelei and cuddled with Lorelei. One of the all-time favorite games was of course peek-a-boo, but needless to say, playing in the pool was a favorite during our vacation as well 
Friends, Family and Pools
Well, we are back from our vacation, over our jetlag and back into our normal routine. That give me time (and energy) to write something on my blog…
Our vacation was to the US to visit family and friends. We visited quite some friends, family and pools 
Our next stop was Corolla on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (after picking up Keith, Bella and Katy in Chesapeake, VA). We stayed at a beach house there which had a pool: Pool #2. This picture is taken by Pool #2. We had taken quite a few pool toys with us, but Lorelei’s favorites were definitely these rings. She would throw them in the pool for the other kids to dive up, but also she would wear them on her head like this. Isn’t she an Angel?
We visited Charlene and Rodger in Richmond, VA. They have a pool in the yard: Pool #3. Lorelei did no swim in this one…
After two weeks of Virginia we flew to Texas to stay with Lisa’s parents in Dickinson, TX. They have a pool in their yard: Pool #4.
So, 4 pools altogether, and thoroughly enjoyed by both Lorelei and Tobias! Our vacation was great! I’ll post some more pictures and stories later…
