With the weather rather unstable and reminding rather of a warm but rainy early autumn rather than mid August our activities during the day were rather limited to anything inside or not too far away from home, just in case another downpour would start. Friday afternoon was dedicated to the larger family with the whole Meierei (Werner & Renate, Katrin & Dipak as well as Anja) joining us for coffee & cake in the afternoon followed by a Mexican evening with Tortilla chips au gratin, Tortillas, beef & chicken, guacamole, squished beans, feta, salad, tomato-coriander salsa, cheese and sour cream.
A spectacular start for the kayak
On Saturday morning we were real daredevils leaving for Andelsbuch in the Bregenzerwald together with Sandra & Flo to watch the Outdoor Trophy, an event where teams of 4 did a mountain run, paragliding, kayak and last but not least mountain biking. We headed for the most spectacular point, the handover from paragliding (a 17x30 meter box had to be reached fro landing in order to avoid a penalty round) to kayak and it was very good fun. Jakob was fascinated by the whole scenery, the athletes did a very good job - only a few had to run the extra round and only one had to empty his kayak after the jump into the water - and the weather was luckily in favour of us and the event. In the later afternoon Markus headed together with Sandra & Flo to Ulm to buy a new wardrobe at Ikea for their flat and for Heidi's house. Not only that the journey lasted 50% longer due to the speed limit in germany once u drive with a hanger, the largest and most heavy parts were sold out and so another trip to Ikea has to be done by them in the next few weeks.
Fun at the playground was rare the past days
The following days Markus finished the DIY in Heidi's house with a little help from a small friend called Jakob, (assembled the wardrobe, fixed some shelves etc), our sunshine used each rain-free minute to run the terrace and he enjoyed himself in the shopping centres in Buers and Dornbirn where he dashed through the alleys. Especially at H&M in the Zimbapark our sunshine was running for almost half an hour without stopping, laughed and screamed permanently and made this shopping trip a short one even though the decisions what Sandra should be buying seemed to not having been the easiest ones.
Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
