A Week in Torquay

 At the farm with Granny and Grandad

 with Auntie Rosie

 There's the ladybug rock I painted.

 There's Katherine throwing it in the sea.

See her joy?  That pretty much sums up Katherine as a two-year old. 

We went to England for a week to celebrate Granny's 60th birthday.  We stayed in a gorgeous seaside apartment with access to an indoor and outdoor pool daily.  Unfortunately, it was quite chilly, so only Jim swam in the sea. But we did lots of hanging out with Granny and Grandad, Auntie Rosie and Dan.  For Granny's birthday, we went to a local farm where the girls wandered around and said it was "stinky." We had lots of nice dinners and fish and chips together. Mostly, we went swimming everyday and the girls really improved their swimming. And of course, we returned to Germany with many English treasures, like digestive biscuits and English children's books.
