Felix and Mickie in Germany

The last weekend in January we spent in Bonn, Germany with Rob's Brother William and his wonderful recently expanded family. We also ended up having an unexpected Carnival night out and then horrid hangover! Here goes... 

Introducing for the second time (see here) Felix Clark! 

Oh and let's not forget the new big sister
Hannah in her very cool London shirt!! 

Rob and his munchkin!

We only spent two days in Germany but crammed a whole lot of fun into it! Felix was huge for being only 4 weeks old, he was almost wearing clothes for a three month old!!! 

Our niece Hannah had grown up a lot since we last saw her! She was so much fun and full of energy. She was talking to us in German and singing to us in German-accented English, but still understood everything we said in English. It's so impressive to watch her learn in two languages! I read her The Tiger Who Came to Tea several times and was glad she enjoyed my choice in literature (I highly recommend this children's book). With family all over the world it means so much to spend time like this with those we do get to see. Luckily Germany is only and hour on a plane away! 

As for the more adult entertainment... on our second night there we went out with William and another couple of very good friends to a Carnival party. Carnival in Bonn is a huge deal, it is the Mardi Gras of Germany and we were there the week before so we managed to catch a few of the festivities. This includs dressing up like anything ridiculous (in our case four eskimos and a hippy), drinking lots of beer and listening to Mickie Krause (a German Robbie Williams type pop star)! Mickie was awesome and has become one of my most played on Spotify! Here are the best shots from the night before I stopped remembering (whoops):

A very normal group of people during Carnival!

I have been to Germany 4 times before and
this is the only photo I have wanted! 

Carnival!

Krause!

It was a fantastic trip and we cannot wait to see the whole Clark clan again soon!
