granma and grampa's visit, a swing and a baby elephant

there was a lot going on lately and i didn't really find the time to write on the blog. but right now there is a sacred moment where pea is asleep and there is not much else to do other than sipping an iced coffee...

as the weather is mostly summery here i took pea to the playground for the first time. he either was too young so far or it was too cold or rainy. i thought i'll just try him on the swings and he LOVED it!!! he also liked to get dirty in the sand but after i almost started a fight with a 5 year old about a little spade i decided we had enough for the day...

peas grandparents from the uk were here for a week and we really enjoyed having them around. it was so nice to see how pea recognized them right away and was very happy to spend time with them. apart from cuddling a lot and chasing granma and grampa around we went to the zoo. a few weeks ago a baby elephant was born in zurich zoo so of course we went to the brand new elephant park to see omysha (that's the baby elephants name). pea was zero interested in the elephants so we took him to the petting zoo. and what did he love most...? the chicken...

a few days later we went up the üetliberg which is a hill next to zurich with the best view of the city. we were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed a nice walk and lunch. 

he obviously didn't enjoy the view as much...

unfortunately we had to bring granma and grampa to the airport in the evening which is always quite a sad event... hopefully we will see them very soon again!
