Munich

This weekend Jared, Simon and I rented a car and headed to Munich to visit their friend Alex (and also check out Oktoberfest). We got to see the city and the party, and Jared even puked. Hehe. We went to Dachaus. Overall it was a great weekend!

Burning Owl

Okay, so it's been a while. I've been busy! I'm visiting Jared in Germany for a bit... trying to learn German and explore the area. Last night Jared and I went on a walk to the Penny Markt to get some bread and eggs and hazelnuss milche. There has been a neighborhood carnival for the past few nights. Tonight we were wondering what the feurwehr was doing there! Well just as we pass through the carnival, the people start parading torches down the street! I got my camera and we started to follow/walk with the marchers. There was a band playing marching band music. We took a few turns and after a short bit were circled around a giant owl. A man started reciting a poem in German, at one point everyone started making weird noises. Then the firemen and women let down the rope and all the people (including tons of kids!) walked up to the owl and set it aflame. How cool! We watched it burn as the band continued to play.

Bean Art

Ahhh the beauty of nature...

... although it kind of resembles a turd...

Best Friends

Olie Loves Coby

CT Science Museum

Cousins and I visited last week!

LAZY

It's hot outside today... too hot for the dog park. Coby is sad, but he got to play with his new best friend Olie today. A nice fuzzy German Shepard I'm puppysitting for. Here is Coby's crazy brother Toby. He stayed here for a week and eventually mellowed out...

Grampie Chainsaws Upside Down

Well I guess I missed it in the pictures, but Mom grabbed me to take a shot of Grampie in the whole, chainsawing the tree stump upside down. He is the master of cutting down trees. We don't have any left in our yard! :(
