Julian Graduates from the Kuekengruppe

Today was Burli's last day at Die Rasselbande before going into summer break. Papa dropped him off and we took this picture at the front gate of the school's new location. it sure is a nice place that new school, large open classrooms and a huge green grassy area out front. the kids really seem to love that.

at noon there was the year end picnic and our whole family came. the kids played sackhuepfen, jumped in the hupfburg, and had some nice potluck lunch. on the weekend J, K, D & E came to visit and we had lots of fun. Sunday was a gorgeous but hot day and we divided our time between the Y, in the house and outside next to the garage (the only place we have shade).

Skunkwork



Yes, it now happened to us, too. the neighborhood skunk entered our house and enjoyed a midnight snack while diego looked on. roshkie did not even bother to check him out, suggesting that they already knew each other. chris had found some strange poop next to the washer/dryer the other day but was not sure where it had come from, now we know. after the skunk had left around 1 am he decided to come back for a second helping, though this time he had trouble leaving since i had one-way locked the kitty door, though not the way i had intended. the door was open for everyone and their brother to come in but not to leave, duh! even Julian woke up and Gma and Chris were frightened as they expected the skunk to get scared and spray in the house. luckily, this did not happen and we were able to open to backdoor so he could get out. from now on the kitty door remains locked (both ways!) during night time hours!
