Exploring the Black Forest






This weekend we went out to explore the Black Forest as part of Claudia's birthday treat. This may well have been the last hot weekend of the summer - so we made the most of it. We went back to the spot where I had been for the Teen Camp a few weeks ago. We all had a wonderful time in the water and walking along the lake.

While walking in the forest Joel picked up a little grasshopper and very quickly (literally) became attached to him. He had no fear and seemed to be very happy with his new found friend. When it came time to go back to the car, it took more than a little gentle persuasion to convince Joel that it was time to say goodbye and that 'Oscar' (mummy suggested the name) would be much happier in the big forest than in our house. We really do need to get Joel a pet rabbit or something - the only problem is we are away so much - would our neighbours be willing to car for him?
