Yesterday was quite hectical and being quick I didn´t see the bad leaves but later on the pic!
But I bet SIL will think it was one of her Daughters anyways - mean Auntie, me, huh? ;-)
The horsey book was the hit, the others, aw, well.
And Wee One looooved The Jungle Book and was so disappointed that no one wanted to read RIGHT NOW to her.
Again Niece was very shy, but Wee One SO NOT! She even hugged huge, loud Uncle Ingo :-)
Before that visit we went to Ingo´s parents.
We chatted a bit, then MIL was keen on installing WhatsApp on my cell.
Took a while and FIL got a tad impatient. Because.... Why was I there?
Riiiight....
Yes, MIL said "some medals"... SOME????
FIL started as police officer, later was chief inspector (before Ingo and I were together he even investigated at my parent´s shop, as a trainee stole jewelry - it´s a small world, huh).
He was over forty and other officers, not even twenty went like, "what´s Granpa doin` here?".
"Granpa" is leaving you waaaaay behind in the water, grabbing gold :-)
I mean... what else?
Be it Germany or just our part of Germany, Lower Saxony - gold it is!
And not only in swimming he deserves gold.
The apron said "Chef P" and what can I say. YUM!
After that there was plum cake and whilst we all stood in the 70´s style kitchen suddenly something very warm touched my hand, by golly!!!
It was Frida (not my late Granma - THAT really would´ve freaked me out - but their boxer´s tongue).
Drive back was stressy but all went well.
One question, though, parents might be able to answer:
Back then Niece, yesterday Wee One asked me to go to the loo with them, I suppose for the big business.
Why???
In both places we got offered coffee (somehow I don´t like it anymore), so:
Lion of the day :-)

Wow! Congratulations on so many medals!
Wow, what a swimmer your FIL was!
We have a whatsapp family group, it makes it easier to send photos and messages to family.
I thinks small kids like company going to the loo, specially if they like you. They don't have privacy issues yet :)
Yes, he was ... no he still IS very active, he loves to ride his bicycle!
Well I just pay for calls I actually make - but as long as I have free Wifi I should have no extra costs, right.
Hmm. OK. Your explanation on the loo makes sense. I´m a bad Aunt!
But I just cannot do the "finish"-thing.
Goodness, what a swimmer your Father In Law was, sometimes it's just good to keep as active as you can!
I agree with Sami over the loo issues …
All the best Jan
Oh, I hope Wee One wasn´t hurt in her feelings then... Why didn´t her Mum explain to me, I wonder... apart from that she does not like me.
I think it sounds like a good day. That's an impressive bunch of medals and I'm glad the books were a hit. And I agree, I think Sami is right on the loo.
It was a good day indeed and wee FIL is off on his bike just the same now.
Well, bad Auntie me... I had no idea, really.
