More fun in the snow - Lotti is happy

We are still having some snow and the kids, our dog and we are enjoying it a lot. Sledding, walking...Lotti is feeling great.
See the pics

Oh what a day. We drove about 30-40 minutes away from where we live to a place called Westerheim. Together with our friends/neighbours. So we packed the cars and drove there. Was nice. All white. Lots of snow and our single wooden sledge. We also have a plastic slider, but thats not all the fun. So we walked up the hill and went down with our sledges. First try ok. With Fabian and no jumps we arrived fine. Then I took Jonathan and well it happened. We jumped over a small bump and while I tried to avoid to fall on Jonathan I rolled over the sledge and broke it.

So most of the fun was over now. Our friends and our kids ran uphill a few more times, but it was not the same fun. Back home I removed the broken and rusted screws, bent the metal bar and reinforced everything. Now also some crossbars help to make the sledge stiff and hopefully strong enough to carry me 117kg Daddy again without breaking the sledge again. I will try to get one of the last wooden sledges at the one dealer tomorrow. But the outlook is bad. Almost all sledges are sold...Let's hope.

I broke the sledge

After a bump and a flip i broke the sledge

More snow

We got even more snow last night

Now we have some snow

It took a while to get some more snow down here in the Stuttgart area, but the whole day today it is snowing and that made about 10-15cm so far. Not too bad. Now we took the kids to the little hill where we could use our sledge. Was a lot of fun. I also finished rust removal on my Trabant in the interior area (floor). Vacation is great for that.

January, just a little snow

It is January, Kids have holiday and I have vacation. At my brothers place in the north of germany the snow is going down a lot, about 30cm (12 inches) but we only have about 3cm (1 inch). Thats not fair. Not enough snow to have lots of fun in the snow.

So I just took some pictures with the view out of our roof window. Some ice...some snow.

When it continues like that we will go to the indoor waterworld with slides etc. thats a lot of fun, you can swim to the outside and go to the pool with real waves.

Barbecue 1st of january

Our first bbq at our friends place. Hmmm
