Busy weekend III

So yes, finally last Sunday it was Zuri-fest, a tri-annual celebration of Zurich. This, to us, mainly meant that for once there was something to do in the centre of Zurich on a Sunday.


From across the river, Bluet spotted the big wheel. As a fan of being up high, of course she wanted to go for a spin. So we all did. Note: we were holding on to the kids very tightly






Then Bluet found a thing that span round and round. As no-one else is a fan of getting dizzy and feeling sick, she rode on her own. She was very happy






So in conclusion I think we all agreed that Sunday's in Zurich would be much improved if they always had Zurich fest going on

Cambridge (sun)

It has been hot and sunny here now for several days, blue skies everywhere. This is ideal for Bluet to play outside - Tuesday morning we headed to the paddling pool in Newnham where I used to play as a kid - it has been renovated slightly, but the pool and roundabout in the playground bought back happy childhood memories of playing there back in the day. I remember the paddling pool being very big, and it still is

Meanwhile we have also been several times to an orchard right next to Gran Helen's house, which was not there when I was a kid, so consequently evoked no memories - it is nice, though. Good for ball games (but watch out for the nettles Bluet).

And then, after a hard day of play, back home.

Oh, and Bluet got a haircut, after which we went and ate sandwiches/a sausage roll at a trendy cafe nearby with plants growing in jeans. A great idea for any plant and/or trousers lovers out there

Outside

When not playing with lego we have been spending plenty of time outside, often near the Zurich pond, at a local playground, or in the back garden. Here are some snaps.

1. Garden activities

2. Pirate ship playground activities

3. Tram activities

4. Other people's house activities

5. Picnic playground activities
