Saturday
was a busy day for Markus and Jakob as they had to fillup Heidi’s backyard with
a sand pit which Markus assembled as well as a large inflatable swimming pool
so Jakob has an opportunity to jump around. By the afternoon everything was done
and while the water was still too cold the first sandcastle was built instead.
The coming days were dominated by swimming, jumping and digging in warm summer
weather. Tuesday and Wednesday night Markus and Jakob spent the night in the
tent Markus got as present for his 30th birthday. As if his friends had
known, the tent was a real family tent which used almost every remaining space
in Heidi’s backyard. Jakob liked it so much that he was really disappointed
when due to the forecast of rain Markus dismantled the tent Thursday afternoon.
Hi there - this is my new bike!
Thursday
morning however Jakob’s dream however came true, when we went to Bregenz to buy
his first bike. Following several clear statements that our big boy wanted a
bike with pedals rather than his trainer bike. We were successful
and found an ideal bike not only by “technology” but also by colour as it is
green, Jakob’s favourite colour. The rest of the day he was either found in
the pool or on his bike practicing and being very proud of his new vehicle. Not
surprisingly he made big progress on day 1 and dropped dead into bed in the
evening. More biking will be on the agenda, no matter what the weather is going
to be.
Julia, Jakob,
Kerstin & Markus
