Last day in Europe.

This morning we took our time getting up and having breakfast.  The weather didn't look promising, so after breakfast, Axel cleaned up cuttings in the garden.

Bob spent the morning playing chess with Mark and reading books to Annie in German!! Sooo funny to watch. Too bad I can't post pictures of the children with Bob.  

Here are some pictures of the garden in the sun. 

Hedgehogs and ducks.

Bob.

Plants.

More plants.

Bob introduced the children to the concept of outlining bodies -- namely, his!

The children added a face -- now he was Alien Bob.

Mark's flotilla in the garden. He's obsessed with dinosaurs and knows so much about them!!

Steffi made a delicious risotto with sugar peas, asparagus, seaweed, and shrimp.  We had some white wine as an accompaniment, and then we sat outside after the children were put to bed.  It had turned into a lovely afternoon and evening weather-wise.  

I went up to do some more packing at 10:30.  Bed at 11:00.

We left London at 10:15am and arrived back in Philly by 1;30pm. With Global Entry it took about a minute to go through customs -- worth the aggravation up front, I guess.
