Pentecost Vacations

In order to escape our every-day routine for a short while, we rented a vacation house in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommerschen Seenplatte over Pentecost. We invited Anna's two best friends Arne and Darius (and their parents, of course) to join us, thus we were a happy party of nine. Kamil and I spent already some holidays in this house in 2006, but our high expectations due to our good memories of this place were even outclassed! The kids were having fun, in the huge garden as in the house, we had great food (even some BBQ!), and lots of funny games and chatting in the evenings for the parents.
It was a lovely week-end, even though the weather was a bit unsettled (actually, we are still waiting for some warm days...crazy May!) and even though our Anna suffered from high fever for two days. We were well looked after and spoiled by our helpful friends!

Here are the kids and Mason in the sandbox: Darius, Anna and Arne

Kamil brought our slackline, which we tried for the first time - argh! that's really difficult!!!!
Oh well, Kamil is doing so much better than I!

And the most favourite place in the house - the appeasing rocking chair!
