flowers, bubbles, and bye byes

Mom graciously offered to replant our pathetic attempts at a flower box (so nice!). She is a flower expert and loves flowers, so it was fun to watch her plant flowers with Carsten. Our flower box looks so pretty! And now we fit in with the locals a bit more since they all have nice flower boxes. Mom also picked up some bubbles at the store which ironically are about 5x more expensive than bubbles in the US for whatever reason. Carsten enjoyed planting flowers and doing bubbles with Grandma and Grandpa. Here's a few photos of planting flowers and bubble time:

Carsten is helping!

It's going to be so pretty!

We provide only the best tools at our house...

The result - so pretty! Thanks Mom!

Bubbles!

Get the bubbles buddy!

'I'm getting them Mom!'

I'm not quite sure when this was, but it's a cute photo :).

On the last morning with Grandma and Grandpa, they had time to read Carsten books, which he really enjoyed. We enjoyed spending time with you Mom and Dad! Thanks for coming!

When Mom and Dad left on the train, Carsten was not happy that they were leaving and indicated that he wanted to get back on the train with them. Carsten misses you Mom and Dad! The flower beds around Egg were empty the entire time Mom and Dad were here (much to Mom's disappointment). Ironically, they planted them right after (I mean 2 hrs after) they left Egg. Here's the guy planting them. And as promised Mom, here's some pictures of the flowers around town after they planted them!

Pretty flower boxes!

This has nothing to do with the post. But I really like the photo. :)

Gorgeous.

Flower beds!

I love the climbing roses here.

We miss you Mom and Dad! And we're excited to see you again in October! Thanks for coming - we had so much fun!
