We spent our first night in Germany in Heidelberg with Christoph's sister, Katharina, and her family. We even got to attend cousin Zoe's third birthday party which was fun and a good reason to stay awake on the first day! After the first night, we headed up to Bodenwerder (by train) to spend several days with Christoph's grandparents, Oma and Opa.

On the plane - both girls did a great job on the plane ride over. Lydia slept for 3/4s of the trip and Amelia also slept for a couple of hours.   
Getting ready to ride the Rodelbahn (kind of like an alpine slide). This was within walking distance of Oma and Opa's house. Amelia loved it!

Ha Ha! We were going fast! :-)
We checked out a nearby castle...
And then up to the top of a nearby mountain. It was COLD up there!
On one afternoon and evening in Bodenwerder, we went over to our friends Inken and Christian's house. They have 2 kids named Ada and Grisha and my kids loved playing with them! Inken and Christian have a super cool house with lots of fun outside play equipment and tons of toys. We played for awhile and then stayed for pizza and french fries. The girls had a blast and it was a fun evening! Can't wait to see them again on our next trip.
The slide in their front yard. What a beautiful view!
Amelia LOVED this rope balancing thing. When we were leaving, she asked if Santa could bring one of those for us at our house. Uh oh!
Finding some walnuts from the tree across the street from their house.
Ada is showing Amelia how to crack the walnuts open and eat them.

We had a great time! Next up Tubingen...
