The Twelfth Day

I woke up and I was super tired. So I put on my Libby socks and got ready for the last day of school.

Today, the students basically just had an awards ceremony and got report cards.

Lisa got best in her class. And an awesome report card! 

It was funny though because everyone had redder faces from the unexpected sunshine yesterday.

Her grandparents picked us up around 9:20 and we also took Lucy home. At her grandparents' house, first we took pictures with the flowers in front of the house. But with their camera so I don't have the pictures. Then, I had one and a half Berliners. And a cappucino. At first I didn't like it but it got better as I drank it. Her grandparents are really nice. I showed them pictures of the two littlest on my ipod because I left my photo album at our house.

 This is their house. Before Lisa and her family moved to other street, they used to live here on the first floor. Her grandparents live on the second floor. 

After eating, we looked at baby pictures. 

I love this girl.

So cute!!

She looked like a boy when she was a baby. So she got her ears pierced when she was two so people could tell she was a girl. And she had adorable chubby cheeks!

And we read gossip magazines in German. Since celebrities' lives are already confusing, the German made it even more confusing. But I understood a little. And there were bow ties. 

So then I did Sudoku. Sehr schwer.

Poor Lisa got really sunburned yesterday. Like really.

They have cool toilet seats here too, Logan. I need to get some like this for our bathroom in America.

While we waited for lunch, we decided to walk through the village so I could take pictures. 

Random pictures I took in the village.

Lisa being a tourist in her own village at the bus stop.

Um yeah. That cappucino I had earlier... caffeine. Yeah. I wasn't very tired anymore. This is a Sound of Music picture by the way. 

Reference picture for certain people who don't know the Sound of Music or Julie Andrews. Tsk tsk.

The supermarket. What am I doing? Oh yeah. The shopping cart dance.

My first vocab word. Kind of. Grabstein.

Um. I don't really know what to put here. But I like this picture.

They have a hotel.

Supermodel!

Lisa told me to take a picture because I love Europe.

Post office! Actually it's not. They only sort mail here. You can't go here to mail mail.

Bus central.

BOWTIE! And I'm pulling a Kaitlin.

The view from our house.

Flowers!

Our house number. And a bird.

Bob the Builder playground set!

Then we went back to her grandparents' and we all had lunch with the parents too. It was yummy. There was goulash/ gulyás but not like what we have at home. It was still good though. Then I had ice cream. And I was stuffed. Oh and I drank two cups of coke. Then, I checked my weight in the bathroom and I don't think I've gained weight. I walk it off. 

Then we went on a magical adventure so I would have something to blog about. Even though I blogged plenty about our crazy walk. 

We drove to Schwerin, the capitol of this state. 

I saw this and I was like why did no one warn me about this wonderful castle.

[Fatima. Change of plans. We're taking over Germany instead and moving into this castle.]

It's so pretty!!!!

I want to live here!!

Then I ran into Emily who was leaving the castle. And I was like "baby!!" and she was like "mama!!" and then we hugged and took a picture.

Another picture of us in front of this magical place!!

The town is really pretty too. Or is it a city. I think it's actually a city.

Family.

 

I didn't think I was supposed to take pictures because there was a sign in German about a pass or something but then my family asked why I wasn't taking pictures and I asked if I was allowed and they said I could until someone said something. A lady said something in the last room so then I stopped. But it was really pretty and detalied.

It was really pretty. And I did my hair. And reading. Multitasker.

We're so cute.

Petermännschen. Some dwarf. That haunts the castle or something.

A sneak peek at the beautiful grounds through the window.

Then, we went into a porcelain room with plates and scultpures and etc.

Outside. So pretty. And the air was very nice. It was very humid inside. It is by the Schwerin Sea.

So gorgeous!! And the scenery is nice too. 

The girls:) I like the boat on my head.

In a cave thing there. Who doesn't want a garden with a cave too?

The fountain was lovely too.

Leaving the castle.

Also, the state's parliament is in this castle.

 

We stopped at a clothes' store that had a cafe on the third floor. We had cake.

GENITIV.

We went shopping at the big shopping center and I saw Emily again and she showed me what she bought. Then I left them because they lost the two boys in their group. I glanced back and they were found later so it was okay.

Libby!!

Daughters, you better be saving your money for a gift for your mama. If you need ideas...

I didn't find any clothes but I bought the dictionary that Lisa and I chose last time. I also bought a gift book with very pretty pictures. I might not give it away because the pictures are so pretty. I also bought another gift. Yeah.

Then we went to the supermarket and bought radishes among other things.

Germans take soccer very seriously. German chickens take it even more seriously.

And that was my lovely day. I learned what coffee does to me. I saw a magical castle. I washed my hair too. I can't believe it's been almost two weeks. SUMMER VACATION!! Also, there's a soccer match today and Lisa and I didn't watch it but we could hear the neighbors everytime D-land scored so we knew the score.
