Living in Duisburg

Here are a few things we are learning and doing 
as we are getting used to living in Duisburg

It rains a lot!  We now see why Dusseldorf is called "Drizzledorf".  But, the sun peaks out too and we have seen many beautiful rainbows.  We thought we would look for a pot of gold in the grocery store!

The slugs come out after it rains.  Slugs look like a combination of a worm and a snail.  We think this is what might have made Charlie sick.  He loves worms at home, so he probably thought he could handle a slug!

But we are happy Charlie is feeling better!  He is back to chasing bunnies and butterflies.

Jack is making use of our bidet.  He figured it was a great way to wash his feet!

We felt a little more at home this week-end when our cousins came to visit.  I actually forgot I was in Germany for a little while.

Thanks to Mark shipping his gigantic supply of Diet Mountain Dew, Alex was able to enjoy one!

Vivian and Hope had fun slug hunting!

 We had an awesome time with family! (Scott, Beth, Kris, & Mark)

 Jack had fun playing video games with Alex.  

We went to an American brunch with another
JCI family at a fitness center right around the corner.  

We went bowling while we were there too.
