Friedel’s Dad (Simon’s Opa) planted a few cherry trees in their backyard a long time ago and now they’re HUGE. The girls love to pick cherries every time they’re at Oma and Opa’s. They’re so delicious!

Quinnie up in one of the cherry trees. They climb up that ladder to the left (that’s against the house).

I’m not sure what kind of cherries these are, but the ones that are half yellow are so delicious.

Have to add this photo of Kiera and Papa playing Fußball- her face!!

The girls love to make these “cherry earrings” (these last few pics of Kiera are from a few years ago).

4th of July (in Germany)

Published on: by Meegan

We were pretty bummed we couldn’t celebrate the 4th of July in America like last year. The girls are in school until the end of the week (the different federal states rotate when school ends and begins every year so that everyone’s not on vacation at the same time). Needless to say, celebrating the 4th in Germany when you still have school and work isn’t as fun. I tried my best though…

Enjoy this halfway decent picture while you can. Kiera gives me about 5 seconds to get a photo and then she’s DONE. If I force it, this is what I get (below)…

Lol! You little booger. I read somewhere that willful children are usually more successful later in life? Someone please tell me that is true. At least Quinnie is always happy to pose…

Ok, we’re going downhill fast..

I bought this awesome t-shirt for the girls. American roots living in Germany.

I hope you all had a great 4th with friends and family!
