Three days - three different activities

Last week was a pretty busy one for us: On Tuesday the three of us attended a small playgroup in the nearby "Kreativraum" during which a group of 10 little ones between 10 and 15 months were singing, dancing, drawing pictures and playing music. After a slow start into the one hours session Jakob was warming up and really enjoyed the course and luckily another 8 sessions will follow over the coming months.

On Wednesday morning Markus' parents and brother came by and after coffee an cake on the terrace Stefan, Kurt and Markus got on their bikes heading out west. The three guys followed the Wiental bike trail towards the Vienna Woods. In the meantime Viki joined Eva, Kerstin and Jakob for some shopping on Landstrasse whereas the main target was warm shoes for autumn/winter for our junior. After a 2,5 hour gentle tour with some ascent towards the end of the journey the three sports-men reached their destination: Gasthaus Mirli, a nicely set restaurant in Tullnerbach with pigs, sheep and other animals nearby. While refreshing with apple juice the four shoppers as well as Ines & Peter arrived and we all managed to enjoy

the sunshine together on Mirli's terrace. The scenery is great and with all the animals nearby this is a great place to spend an afternoon with children followed by good food not too far out of town. We concluded the family day with nice dinner inside and reached home at 2200 with Jakob fast asleep in his car seat.

Next day in the morning we got ready for some splish-splash as Jakob joined the baby-swim course again. Due to our trip to Mallorca he has missed the first lesson, but in Spain he was able to practice a lot and so he was all eager running and jumping into the 32 degree warm water in Dianabad. As one could expect Jakob was yet again the loudest and most active member of the group, enjoyed himself in the water and tasted the water several times. But as long as he has fun, we don't really mind and given he is sleeping well after having lunch right after the course we managed to do some shopping in the city as well.
