Punctuation Cows~~~!

This will be short, I am sleepy and Phillip refuses to blog.

We took a two-hour train ride to Heidelberg, where we walked about...I think the sign said 2.8 km to get to the castle, and we stopped on the way and ate döner. The guy was really nice, and we met a man in there from Alexandria who is in the army. He was nice and interesting. :D

So I either showed Phillip where I fell, or a place like it. I don't think it was it, but everything was closed off for construction. D:

We ate pretty eis before leaving, and Großmutti und Großvater picked us up at the train station before driving us to the Fasanries. << It was beautiful and the food was good.

Then we came home, and I napped.

PS, at the Fasanries, there were cows with commas on their sides (or apostrophes or nines...) and exclamation points. We called them Punctuation Cows. :3

Guten Nacht

<3Phillip und Kelley

Then I Asked For Seconds...

So this morning I awoke to Phillip. Just Phillip, no camera. :3:3:3 The only way he got me to get out of bed was by luring me with the promise of müssli. Which I did get. :D:D:D

Then we went and got ready before migrating out into the world, where we proceeded to investigate an ATM and get monies. :3 We quickly proceeded to the land of cutting hair, where I had Mrs. Stuckiäs Hairstylist Gitta, who was super sweet and I really liked, while Phillip got this crazy, rude, female dog lady who cut his hair too short and insulted it the whole time.

PS, Gitta loved my hair, and said she wouldn't cut it too short because she would feel bad for it. She was super cute. :D

We then went to Eva's house, where we talked for about an hour, she was so sweet and had old dog and a fat cat. :D We proceeded onwards to Homburg, where we listened to lovelz jazz music, met Clause, his granddaughter, and Fritz. We soon left for the flea market, where I got Kaitlyn a gift she will love me for for FOREVER, and I got myself a hardcover Tokio Hotel folder. :D Epic~

We soon got lost in Zweibrücken, which was quite an adventure as we attempted (and failed, mind you) to find a döner place. So we ave up, and went to DOTZ, where I got THE BEST 80s style track jacket from Adidas in Deutschland style. It is SO amazingfantasticcool. I also got daddy a present. :D

We left there for Einöd, where we got a döner to share before heading home. Dinner of schnityel and potatoes and home-grown green beans and bread was served, and I asked for seconds on the Schnityel, having no idea that the second piece is bigger than the first. But, as not to be rude, I ate it. :3

Then Phillip and I took pictures of the garden, probably brinking on filling up this memory card (I really need to dump them into my computer), before cake was served, and we looked at baby pictures.

I do believe I can honestly say Phillip was the CUTEST baby I've ever seen. :3

Now we're in the computer room, about to migrate downstairs to watch Friends, let me shower, and let Phillip drum.

Tomorrow we leave for Heidelberg, and spend the afternoon there, and I will show Phillip that spot where I fell and got the most amazing scar of my life. I will be wearing my new jacket. :3

We will probably explore more than I got to last year as well. ;)

Anyways, we're going downstairs. He's playing Pokemon right now whilst I slave over the blog D:D:D:

But we enjoy our fans. ;)

We love you!!! Good night!!!

Phillip is flakeyyy~~~

So I awoke this morning to a clicking camera in my face. << Yes, Phillip, of course...taking a picture of me. Silly boy. :3

So we went and saw Ice Age 3 in German with Marieke, Gunar, Nelle, und Thorben, before Phillip and I came back to Großmutti's and kinda reorganiyed everything and he worked on his AP German assignment. We then left for Klaus's house, where Carrine and her husband were making us dinner, which was fantastic. It was dough wrapped around like...olives and peppers and onions and maybe little chunks of meat. And Melon and tasty little snack things and then eis. :D

We then played with the two kids, and Phillip dropped me in the water D:D:D:. Then he splashed me in the face with more TT_TT

:3:3:3 It was fun~

So then we came home, and now Phillip is sitting behind me, calling his mom and working on his AP German assignment, and I just got off skype with my family. Tomorrow is haircuts and shopping and a jazz festival and flea market yay!!! :D:D:D

Daddy - Klaus had this awesome thing that looked like the top of a skethescope, and it was wireless and it hooked up to their stereo(which had a record player), and if you put it in your ears, it registered that they were in yours and it played the music. It was SO COOL!!!

Phillip and I knew youäd like it. :D

So we love all of you, and good night!!!~ <3

There's This Thing, Called Sleep...

We need a lot of it. -.-' Sorry about no post yesterday, we hiked in the Alps. :D It was great fun, and then we packed and went to sleep.

Far more eventful than that - lots of cows :3:3:3 - but we need sleep soon and I'm keeping this fairly short. :]

This morning we woke up at 4:30am. Killer~ I'm not sure if we've mentioned this, but we haven't showered in three days at this point. We hop on four trains and a bus, and make it into Dinkelsbühl!!! I get reoriented, and we learned AMA is playing TONIGHT. We saw some AMA kkids, I snickered a little, we moved on. We visited the stores I liked from last year, and discovered some new ones, including one where I got a fantastic~ pen and Phillip got a cute little highlighter. :D

We ate some eis, a döner later, and Phillip enjoyed peeling the dead skin off of me. :3 Yeah, he's...easily entertained? Entertained by interesting things? I was entertained too, so it all worked out. <<

We also found a fantastic grocery store and got some fun stuff, and soon, we left. We walked a good bit, caught a bus, and then three trains, and made it safely to Großmutti's, where she fed us potatoes with ham and cheese in them(yummy~), and we watched the end of the Bayern München-Manchester United game, where München pwned some British noobs.

We then proceeded to shower, which was fantasticcc~~~~~~~

But seeing as it's now basically midnight, Iäm going to have a quick skype no camera or microphone conversation with my familz, and then it's off to bed.

Night everyone, we love you!!!

Making Up For Lost Time?

So yesterday we arrived in Muenchen, and since we didn't know what anything was historically, we deemed it shopping day. :3 We walked roughly for an hour to find doener, but we found it and it was consumed. :D then we wandered a little, discovering multiple H&Ms, and two Pimkies. <<

I got some cute stuff, but trying on didn't happen exactly, since we're both very sunburned. My worst spots were my everywhere and face, which had a slight second degree burn and was forming bubbles. D: Phillip's was his back, chest, and the backs of his knees. <3 D:

so we painfully tried on a few things, and I ended up buying a cute plaid shirt, a lacey tanktop, and swim trunks. :D:D:D oh, and a cute, weird halter from Miss Sixty. ^^

We ate at the Hofbraeuhaus, where we order a small beer, half a liter. We each took a sip. It tastes like rotten corn in my opinion, no offense to any beer-drinkers. >>

we split a weissworst and it was decently good. i liked the preztel, and the sweet honey mustard. :D Mommy, you would've been obsessed with the sauce, it was fantastic. ^_^

We proceeded to find our way to Holzkirchen, where we were welcomed with open arms, and tongues. They have some dogs. And a baby. :D We nibbled some bread before going upstairs to our room, where we basically collapsed~

This morning, the alarm went off at 9, but I was up at eight. I debated for half an hour just not moving, but with Phillip's continuous move, not move, move, not move, I got bored and found my computer.

Mind you, Phillip's on the couch. :3

So I researched the history of Munich. :D So today we went and saw both town halls, old and new, the University, the English Garden, where we found some weird breed of duckgoose. (We later found their cousins, the dovepigeons, who have the same pattern on their feathers). We ate lunch at Mickey D's, and since they didn't give it to us to go, we jacked their tray, walked to the fountain in front of the Frauenkirchen. We did end up taking back their tray, but if it had said something like 'McDonald's Munich' we might have kept it. We did take pictures. ^^

We wandered down Miximillianstrasse where Phillip learned I am easily intimidated, before we went to the new town hall at five, where the clock played the Glockenspiel and a little scene happened. :D We then bought flowers, and power-walked to the train.

Upon arriving here, back in Holzkirchen, we were fed schnitzel, salad, pommes, and this DELICIOUS mushroom-soup-thing. The broth was the best part, but the mushrooms in the broth wasn't terrible.

Yes Kitty, I'm getting the recipe. No I won't share. This will be called Kelleys mushroom thing back home. ;]

Phillip and I then took an adventure to the nearby sea/lake, where many pictures were taken. Now we're going to lather this fantastic German burn cream on ourselves, and go to bed.

PS, no water here. No showers. TT_TT This is day two. Tomorrow we hike in the alps! :D:D:D

Guten Nacht!

Burnt Lovehandles

Apparently Ive been recruited to do this every night TT_TT

Kelley and I got quite sunburned today in a hope that we might be able to live on an indian reservation some day.

This morning we had a typical german breakfast with brötchen (rolls) and marmelade. Shortly thereafter we boarded our vessel which turned out to be a stove... We sailed down the Rhein for several hours, taking a cavalcade of pictures for our families. It was a beautiful day, and everyone was out boating or swimming. We stopped briefly at Stein am Rhein, an old swiss village full of little picturesque buildings. We jumped ship on our way back and went swimming for a couple minutes. But I was afraid of fish mistaking my toes for bait so we got back in the boat fairly quickly. In the evening we went out for dinner to a little pizzeria outside of Allensbach. Kelley had a simply scrumptuous schnitzel and I had a pleasent pepperoni pizza.

We are both very burned and trying to move as little as possible at this point. We plan on having an Aloe party and then falling asleep immediately.

Good night!
Love Kelley and Phillip

A GOAT IS EATING MY PANTS!!!

It has come to my attention that some of the stories Kelley has been reciting to our riveted fans have been somewhat scewed. I would like to apologize to our readers for any confusion that may have occured and I would like to reasure you that everything that you read in my posts will be entirely fact based and accurate.

This morning a giant sea monster rose out of the Bodensee and tormented the poor citizens of Konstanz, but I grabbed my trident and surfboard and banished the fiendish fillet to the dark recesses of the lake...

So we had cornflakes this morning T_T'' It was far less exciting than the fish fight that I had hoped for... Regardless, the corn flakes were delicious. Alfred then drove us into Konstanz and Kelley and I shopped for a few hours. We were quite succesful in our endeavors. I am the proud new owner of a nifty jacket from H&M and Kelley is now adorning a beautiful shell necklace once worn by Ariel, the Little Mermaid.

We then drove into Switzerland and had originally planned to take the lift up to the top of a mountain. Alas, it was raining and our plans were mitigated by legions of falling liquid. We then drove through the Swiss valleys and zig zagged up and down the mountains for most of the afternoon, stopping in little towns to have a drink and walk in the Fusgängerzone (pedestrian zone). We had dinner overlooking the surrounding valleys and the very first mountains of the Swiss Alps. For dinner we all had Schnitzel with Swiss Macaroni and Cheese. Ive had schnitzel for dinner four nights in a row now, and Kelley has had it three out of the last four nights. We're very adventuous when it comes to our cullinary selections.

After dinner we cuddled with Billy goats and Bunnies. I wanted to take the smallest one home with me, he would have fit in well in suburban Virginia. After our goatnapping was rendered unsuccesful, Kelley clambered her way through a suspended rope tunnel while I laugued at her and took pictures. Once we got back to Allensbach Kelley, Sabine and I got delicious Waldmeister ice cream and raided the flea market. Before heading home Kelley and I sat down on a stone wall and watched the sun set across Lake Constance. The bright orange of the sun sparkled beautifully across the light blue shades of the water.

I hope you enjoyed this unskewed review of todays occurances. I will be sure to edit my collegues future posts to ensure that all their contents are accurate and unbiased.

Good night!

Love Kelley and Phillip

Es tut mir in der Seele weh wenn Ich im Glass den Bodensee

so we got on a bunch of trains today. phillip had to call a manager and i got to talk to a woman who spoke onlý german. <<

so we almost missed getting on the train after a joint effort and eating a döner, but we got it. :D but then phillip almost made us not get off at the right stop. it was all him. no really, it was, i knew what was up. :3

so sabine and alfred walked us to their house which overlooks bodensee and is SO pretty, and we chilled inside for a bit before heading to konstanz. we sat down and had some dirnks, phillip and i, fanta, sabina and alfred, cappucinos. then we went on an hour and a half walking tour of konstanz which was fantastic, before it started raining. then we went and ate before coming home, where we all relaxed for a bit before heading to our separate rooms, where i've showered.

tomorrow morning iäm sleeping in a little while phillip showers, then weäre going to go shopping in konstanz before sabina und alfred pick us up to go to switzerland. :D

yay passports! but i'm really tired, so iäm going to go watch friends with phillip until i fall asleep, where he will then put away my computer and go to bed.

idk we might watch howls. << nope, friends. kay, niiiight~

Patriotic Joe

So today started out with plans of hiking but the weather was dreadful. so instead ekkehard and marianne took us to the largest roman catholic cathedral, and the museum speyer, where i took tons of pictures and daddy will want to go there. :3

we ate döner for lunch! it is soooo good!<3 the döner in einöd is better, more queso, which isnt cheese sauce.

after these adventures and a slide, we all met at this youth hostel where phillip and i ate schnitzel and i tried valiantly and failed again to like bubbly water. <<

its just not good. -.-'

so herwig and silke took us home, and phillip and i explored the nearby burg (castle) and took some nice pictures and got some epic inside jokes.

herwig did say a wonderful quote tonight at dinner, phillip really wants to put it up so here:
"asking for alcohol-free beer in münchen is like going into harlem and yelling 'damn blacks!'"

phillip liked it. -.-'

so aldi, an awesome german convenience store that mrs. stucki knows well and loves, owns trader joes. yay!!! :D

also, phillip and i met an interesting crazy woman yesterday, we forgot to mention. she told phillip literally, 'i am from the asylum. they give us a day each week to go and wander about. isn't that nice? can i buy something from you?'

phillip and i were like >> but we forgot to put it in yesterdays blog.

well, i still need to finish packing for bodensee und münchen and shower, and we have an early start tomorrow and its eleven~~~

as such, guten nacht! ich liebe dich from phillip and i!!!

yes mommy please send this link to grandmom. danke <3

Day zwei :3

We woke up, and chilled with Nelle and Thorben until they left for eco-camp, where they made this wicked cool...thing. <<

then phillip and i set off around noon, and rode until a little after one when we saw a little picnic bench and stopped and ate, it was super good. :3

then we rode a little more and later stopped and got ice cream and wandered a little, got some mezzo mix and regular water, and kept going for a bit longer.

we took an hour long detour...<< and then it took an hour to get back...then we took a half an hour detour and it took half an hour to get back. lots of uphills. D:

so later we got picked up and went and ate schnitzel. not the best i've had ever, but good. i think i like döner better. :D then we went and got eis, phillip and i were full and herwig called us non-american because we don't eat all the time. :3

so we came home, thorben danced on the table and shirtless, and everyone showered and went to bed. basically it, we're going hiking with herwig und ekkehart tomorrow. as such, guten nacht! ich liebe dich und ich vermissi dich!!!
