Little Odds and Ends

The boys had facepainting at school one day!  Aaron had a cool tiger-face.  You can see he wipes his mouth a lot with the sleeve of his shirt.  :)

The Bots and I took a trip up to Düsseldorf for the Stake Primary Baptism Preparation Day for 7 year olds.

 We had a HUGE potluck at the church.  Super fun and well planned!

 Our missionaries!  Elder Owens and Elder Givens.  Great Elders!

 Elizabeth Clark moved into our ward!  Yay!  She will be studying medicine here, and stayed with us for a couple of weeks while she was looking for an apartment in crazy Aachen housing.

 We went for a hike up in the hills in Vaalserquartier.  

There are always a row of  crows up there by the cornfield.

 Deutsche Einheit Day was at the beginning of October, celebrating the reunification of Germany.  We celebrating with our friends, Tyler, Sarah and the Siebke's in the Eifel National Park.  The Meldrums rented a house there for Sarah's birthday and we all slept over.

 The house was really cool and had lots of fun things to do.  The trampoline was a hit.

 Aaron and I went to pet the bunnies at least 6 times.

 The ponies were not Aaron's favorite.  The white one started butting him the in chest to see if he had some food.  Aaron got scared and ran away, and the pony chased him until Aaron fell down.  He scratched his face and was really really scared, but he was OK, and we were very grateful he wasn't really hurt.

These little go carts were SUPER fun!

 Aaron liked getting a ride from Harald on the trailer.

 In the morning, we all went for a hike.  It was a little drizzly, but we were lucky, because the rain held out for us and we had a great time.  It was a beautiful area, and the leaves were all changing.  Very pretty!

 General Conference Weekend

                                                   Between sessions we played at the park close to the church.
