And the Fun Continues!

So I've decided to just assign everyone arbitrary names because in the post today I'm introducing 3 new cousins so everyone needs names!

So on Thursday the 1st after the younger boy, lets call him Luke, so after Luke came back from kindergarden we took him and the older boy, Jonas, and his friend John to the new house to play. I was told a couple stories about how badly John behaves and how Jonas behaves much worse when John's around but John was actually very well behaved. Everything was going good until Jonas didn't listen when the former au pair whose staying here, Lauren, told him not to hug the neighbors dog. Jonas frightened the dog, and it was a big german shepherd and he got bit on his left arm. Of course he's screaming bloody murder and Lauren is freaking out. She brings him inside to clean the bite a little but almost as soon as she looks at it she decides that its going to need stitches and that we need to go to the hospital. It turns out she was overreacting and the bite wasn't that bad but it was still good to go since they could clean it so much better at the hospital. What I found most amusing though was just how shocked I was by the distance to the hospital. See, I've lived within a mile or so of a hospital since about my 6th birthday and actually if I needed to go to the hospital in recent years I would just walk because it's about a block from my house in the US. But I'm living out in the country now and they don't have a hospital in every town. We had to drive all the way to Würzburg which took us about 20 minutes to a half hour. The whole ride there I was thinking how much farther? And my favorite, are we there yet?

Friday the 2nd we stayed mostly around the house I think. I know that Luke went to kindergarden that day and I went to drop him off. I also know that Jonas had to have his bite checked at some point that day. I'm pretty sure that Jonas went to a organized play thing that day. So that means that I was playing with Luke and I'm pretty sure that that's the day me and Lauren went on a chocolate run. Mmm... chocolate!

Saturday the 3rd Jonas, Luke, John, John's mom Susan, John's neighbor Mary, Lauren and Me went to Schloss Thurn which is an amusement park. It's really different from something like Great America though because the whole park is covered in trees and it's very family oriented so they only had one actual roller coaster but it was safe for any age so we even took Luke on it and he's 3. I had fun though and Luke and Jonas were sooo much better behaved then when we were at Playmobile land! That evening I promised my mom I'd Skype with her so I went on Skype around 8/9 my time which is like 11/12 noon California time. As I was talking to my mom though my cousin Natalie came online. So we chatted 3 way for over an hour but in the end I basically decided that I was gonna call Natalies mom the next day and ask if I could come over and stay there for a night.

Sunday the 4th started out well, I slept in a little and relaxed in the morning. I called my Aunt Tai around 10 and got the go ahead to come over. So I hopped in the car and started driving. I got to Aunt Tai's house about 1 in the after noon. I hung out some with her while I was waiting for my cousins to get there. Once Uncle Fred had brought them back he hung around for a while trying to set up my cousin Nate's iPhone. After he left Aunt Tai, Nate, Felix, Natalie and me went out for ice cream. Oh how I love gelato! After that we played a bunch of board games, ate dinner, and played some more games. I was planning on going on Skype but I totally forgot what with all the fun I was having with my cousins.

Monday the 5th my cousins went all out for breakfast. It was cute really! I was told not to leave the room I was staying in and they would come in occasionally asking me what I preferred food wise or how much of something I wanted. They had the table all set and everything, so cute! Though I'm sure they don't like that descriptions considering that they're 11 and 14... We hung out all day playing more games and talking. We played Settlers of Catan and they were all fighting with each other and they didn't even notice that I had 9 points! Lol, then my uncle came over again to take Felix and Natalie to the orthodontist and we had to pause the game and that's when they finally noticed. Lol the look on Felix's face! I left Aunt Tai's house about 8pm and started driving back. By the time I got back it was about 11:30pm so I went to bed.

Tuesday the 6th. Well, not much has happened today. I went shopping bought some stuff, mostly food, but other than that I've been at the house with Jonas while he played with his friend Laci. What I find totally cute though is that when he says he's gonna go play with her he says that he's gonna go play with his girlfriend Laci. He doesn't realize that in english we don't use gender in conjunction with friend unless its romantic. Every time he says it I giggle a little to myself.

Thats all for now so till next time!
