Dragon Fish

by Tobias on July 30, 2009

Thursday on the way home from Ikea we went to Dörig Fisch Mercato in Dietikon and Keagan was allowed to choose a fish for our dinner on Friday. Of course he aimed for the red one and we left the shop with a 1.7kg fish. At home Susanna figured out that this is a scorpion fish (…)

Keagan got seriously annoyed that this man is throwing building blocks into the trash.

The honking was highly appreciated by the younger audience. After a while though, Keagan fell asleep in Att’s arms and (…)

Pool and sand pit

by Tobias on July 26, 2009

Today we enjoyed the really nice new natural pool. The water is really clean and this without any chemicals thanks to a very sophisticated natural filtering process. Keagan is making lots of progress with swimming and he’s not a bit afraid of the water. The sand pit was damn hot but this didn’t stop Keagan to (…)

Aareschlucht

by Tobias on July 26, 2009

Today we went from Giessbach to Brienz by boat and there we took the train to the Aareschlucht. It’s really a very impressive sight but not that Keagan would have cared. It’s probably more a grown’up thing
