Partai!!

Today was Sophia's birthday party for her very not quite yet birthday. (Her birthday is in January, but she likes the summer, so we party now!) Sixteen kids, three adults, plenty of sweets and games later everyone was dead, and by everyone I mean the adults. 

Since I am new and I know none of Sophia's friends except a few we kicked the games off with a name game. You know, the one where you throw the ball to one person and say your name and then their name, etc. Well, in German it is a little bit different. Like the fact that I had no idea what they were saying. Just kidding, I knew most of it. After everyone had the ball it was my turn to throw it to everyone and say their names. I got the good majority, but out of sixteen I think I did well! 

After this was an egg run, wheelbarrow run, thee legged race, a water run (they had cups and had to fill a bucket at the end of the yard), a "fireman" line, a game where they linked arms and had to get each person thru a hula hoop without breaking hands, and last but not least a water balloon toss! This was always my favorite game with youth group growing up!!!! This quickly turned into "find some sort of water from somewhere and throw it at the nearest person". After this, everyone got changed and we had some fantastic food made by Stefan and then we all lived happily ever after. The End. 

Oh yeah! Pictures!!!!!!

(This is we're the unthinkable started happening.)

(They got cups and started throwing water at each other)

(And then..... The sweetest little girl just looks at me like "can you move over please so I can get past you?" NOT WHAT SHE WAS THINKING!!!)

(And then round two. Down the back of the trousers and everything. It was a BLAST!)

Bis bald!
