School is finally over and we have six weeks of summer and no programs, classes or practices to worry about attending. Following are some pics of our recent endings:
Vaden's 7th year biology class ended with an inventive collection of skits and media presentations warning of the use of cigarettes and alcohol.
Wils ends the year for Fußball with a participation award and a sunflower (maybe for his sunny disposition?) He also ends his last year of kindergarten with of course a grill out. Here he is roasting schotck brot on a stick with his buddies and teachers sitting on the bench...Schtock Brot is one of the most delicious things we have found here. Dough on a stick, basically.
Stryker-Ann ends her track season with individual best in long jump, ball throwing, and the 800 meter. She also ends her time at the local village school. They threw a great end of the year party with music and skits and of course cover dish salats and desserts, all laid out on beautifully set tables.

school's out summer's in
The last post in June??? We're slackers, we know. so 'nuff said
School is out here in Baden Württemberg. The kids have not been exactly without anything to do, however ...
Sommerlager 2007
Rümmingen, our fair city, (sorry, not city, Dorf, village - not a city) has had it's yearly summer camp for the local kids. The two younger kids really enjoyed the games and activities, our oldest was enlisted as "camp help" with the babies and Madge worked as official photographer for the event (as well as coordinating some of the activities and outings). Last year, we did a presentation of the pictures as a slide show during the buffet supper. This year, the request was made to have photo CDs available from last year as well as this year - so Paul was pretty busy working into the evenings on editing the daily shoots into a presentation for the last evening.
The theme for this year's camp was "the elements" (Earth, Fire, Water, Air - or Erde, Feuer, Wasser und Luft). Here's just a taste ...
Building the "pool" for the Wasser theme (a bunch of hay bales and a heavy rubber sheet).
Madge and Wils sculpting in clay for Erdetag
Fish windsocks (craft from Lufttag)
Vaden doing "baby duty"
As always - click the above photos for a larger view.
