Weekend at Jeremy´s

So this weekend I went down to Grafenwohr to visit my cousin and his family. The trip there was pretty simple, except I almost missed one of my trains because they changed platforms. Luckily I made it there just fine. He picked me up from the train station and we went to pick up some groceries and things. The great thing was that it was on an army base and everything was american pretty much. They had american food that you can´t get in germany and it was in USD. Everyone spoke english which was great. I bought some snacks that I haven´t had in two months and then we headed out to pick up his daughter. She is shy around new people so I didn´t say much to her when she first got in the car. We drove to their house, which is totally awesome because it has 4 floors. I love houses like that! I had bought a princess coloring book for laura and so when we got back I gave it to her and she sat down and started coloring in it right away. Lucky for me she is into princesses! We just kind of hung out, we had country fried steak and mashed potatoes for dinner YUMMY! While Jeremy and Jamie were making dinner I slowly got laura to sit on the couch and read with me. That was a lot of fun. Later on she wanted to read to her bear and I took a couple pictures because it was so cute the way she sat on the floor.
It´s kind of dark but her bear is sitting between her legs and she is reading to him. SO CUTE!Jeremy and I played his Nintendo Wii for a while that night, those are so fun! Then went to bed. I just took it easy the next day, we ran to the train station to get my ticket and then went to the euro store. We ate and watched Tin Man (really weird mini series kind of like wizard of oz) and then went to bed. I was originally going to stay until Monday but we weren´t able to find a good ticket out so I left today. It took me a while to get home but it was a good trip, except for when the ticket man scolded me for putting my feet on the seat. Oh well. Here are some more pictures from the weekend.

Laura hamming it up for the camera. Super blue eyes!Giving bear some love. She´s carrying her purse around.Their dog Zoe.
This is one of their cats, skittles. She is actually a self mutilating depressed cat and she scratches herself so bad that they have to put this on her so she doesn´t scratch herself to death, pretty much.Jeremy and Laura.Dad´s a jungle gym, don´t ya know?Jamie was playing peek a boo and Laura would laugh and laugh. It was very entertaining.
The family: Jamie, baby, Laura, and JeremyThis tower is where Hitler used to watch the SS men from, pretty crazy huh?I never have any pictures of me because I just don´t think to ask anyone to take them so I took this one of myself on one of the trains home, I have headphones because I was watching The Two Towers.Another quick cute story because I am ready for bed. I have this yodeling rat-squirrel keychain for natalie´s house key that I let laura play with. After pushing it over and over again she started to sing it. It was so cute. Ok, well I don´t know what´s next but I hope to go to the Herrenhausen Garten tomorrow or Tuesday so I will post pictures of that!
