Life in Germany...

We live in a nice apartment on the 20th floor of the Olympic Press Building--I'll try to get a few pictures of the building and our view posted in the next few days.  The summer olympics were held here in Munich in 1972, and we are RIGHT here at the park where it all took place.  It's so cool.  We can go on a nice, pretty, shaded walk on great trails and see fields, tracks, stadiums, the building where the swimming events were held (which we're going to go swimming at one of these days).  It's neat.  Every time we walk that way we see something new.  We've seen what I'm guessing are summer track camps going on, so we've seen people running sprints, practicing throwing the javelin and the high jump.  AND plenty of soccer.  My Benjamin is in heaven.  : )  (Hunter and Preston enjoy it, too)  : )  There are several playgrounds around this building/complex, and we spend good time outside every day.  (We would NEVER survive staying inside all day!)  So, here are some pictures at the playground...I love the playgrounds here.  They're all sand, so the boys have had a great time digging and many of them have pails and pulley systems and chutes to pour the sand down, it can occupy them for a good amount of time.  : )

 One of the buildings in our complex, just a picture to show that they have boxes and most people have some beautiful plants/flowers.  It makes the buildings pretty and brings life to the place!  : )

 And we try to keep some sort of nap routine...these guys are tired every day from all of the walking, running, exploring and playing!

 Benjamin and I are also working through a pre-K book.  It's nice to have that time with him and he's been surprisingly willing to work on it.  He's so ready for kindergarten and is already getting excited...at this point the biggest decision he's worried about is what kind of backpack he'll have.  : )
