BIKES!

Hi Everyone!
It has been a really really really long time since my mom decided to post on this blog. So much has gone on in the last few months, that I don't even know where to start!

I guess I'll start with my very first trip in a "lastwagen" oder semi truck. Although my Opa owns a trucking company, I never had the chance to ride in one of the really big trucks. I told Opa my one really special wish for Easter was to take a ride with Opa. He agreed! It was so cool.


As the weather started to get nicer this spring we did some hiking around Graz. It was fun. Nils rode in the backpack, but at the end Mom let me take a ride in the backpack. It was fun to pretend to be a little baby! I had so much fun picking flowers.




In June my Aunt Betsy just showed up! It was so cool. We had so much fun jogging and biking and playing. My mom celebrated her 30th birthday and we had a big party. That was also so much fun. We did a few REALLY fun things with Aunt Betsy when she was here including going to a chocolate factory and taking family pictures!


In July we went to Grado for about 1 week. It was so much fun to lay around in the sun, play in the sand and swim in the ocean. I dont even need a swim noodle anymore. Just my water wings!


At then end of July my Grandma and Grandpa came and stayed for 2 weeks! It was so much fun. We spent some time in Graz, but also took a trip to Bratislava. I loved it there! We took a boat from Bratislava to Vienna . That was really fun. We all enjoyed that.


Now, the best for last:
I CAN RIDE A BIG GIRL BIKE!!!! I learned in April or so to ride a bike. I never had training wheels. Not even for one second. I had a really little bike to begin with, but have moved up to a bigger one so that I can ride a bit faster. My new bike even has a basket on the front! I ride my bike to nursery school and home again nearly everyday. I LOVE to ride my bike.

In 2 weeks I start at the "kindergarten", moving up from the "kinderkrippe". Thats like going from nursery school to preschool. My mom says it makes her a little sad, but mostly really proud. I am so excited about kindergarten and cannot wait to write more about it in a couple of weeks.

Love,
Zoe
