The Easter bunny does not mind the roaring lion

The preparations for the big Easter weekend with the enlarged family were well advanced when Markus arrived in Hoerbranz late Thursday night having left Vienna after work. Friday morning Jakob was full of joy seeing Markus again after more than 1,5 weeks and the two spent quite some time together playing, laughing and having fun. They also enjoyed the beautiful weather walking alongside Lake Constance towards Bregenz while Kerstin was in Heaven, her hairdresser in the city centre. Having slept all the way into town Jakob was wide awake when they strolled through the centre visiting some shops and buying flowers on the market. In the afternoon Kerstin went for a run together with Sandra while Markus went for another "sleep-walk" with our sunshine before we had meatless dinner - grilled trout with vegetables

The house was decorated nicely

On Saturday morning the three of us walked together to Bregenz meeting Sandra & Flo there for some more shopping. As the last day of nice weather had to be exploited we took along our running gear and after having fed Jakob's lunch at Sandra & Flo's place Sandra & Kerstin as well as Markus & Jakob set of to run back home to Hoerbranz to earn the traditional Easter dinner - eggs, boiled ham and fresh horseradish.

Sunday morning the big family brunch was on the cards and the Easter bunnies had lots to do indoors as it was cold & raining. Jakob crawled through the house, featured his impressive roaring sounds and was not yet too impressed with the easter eggs, chocolate rabbits and presents that were hidden all over the living room. After all he did discover though his presents: new hats, a cuddly bathing-poncho and a large wooden box for his toys - built by grandpa. We do hope that the weather will be better next year on Easter Sunday so we can search the Easter eggs and presents in the backyard where. Already now we are looking forward to that!
