Our vacation

Finn cutting the grass with Opa.

Lily doing the same with a little help from Omi Lotti.

The big attraction: the new water fountain on the patio (still under construction, but water coming out already). We had to turn it off to get them away from it.

Opa built this nice sandbox!

Let's go over there, Opa!

Ready to hit the town.

A favourite place: the beach!

Still cool but so much fun!

Finn LOVED LOVED LOVED it.

We had everything you need for a day at the beach, thanks to Oma and Opa.

We had a great time up north: perfect weather, Finn was healthy the whole trip, lots of time at the beach, visiting with family and friends ...

Finn and Lily loved the beach. They could have stayed there for days on end. Lily never tired of eating sand, seashells and pebbles, and Finn ran in and out of the (still pretty cold) water a gazillion times. Occasionally when a wave came he got a little more than just his feet and calves wet. Neil was brave enough to even go for a swim.

The kids also loved Oma's and Opa's garden. Opa had built a sandbox and swing and Oma had borrowed tons of toys from friends, so they were very well equipped for the grandkid invasion. Finn's favourite activity besides mowing the lawn was watering the flowers and whatever else couldn't escape his little watering can. And sweet Lily made Oma and Opa really happy by giving them lots of hugs and kisses. She is one cuddly little girl!
