lunch with oma and opa

oma and opa means grandma and and grandpa in german

in case you didn't know.

well oma and opa invited us over for lunch on friday

we had a lovely time, it was so nice to chat and visit

without all the usual family around

they are both cancer survivors and we were able to hear their stories

since we lived far far away, out of state

we never really heard how they discovered the cancer, just that they had it.

 

emi thoroughly enjoyed herself.

oma had gotten her some treats she could snack on.

they also had gotten emi some apple juice.

a special treat for emi, since she rarely gets it.

she was seriously chugging it

and used the bathroom at least 5 times while there

because of how much she was drinking.

while waiting for lunch, cheeseburgers and brats

emi explored the backyard

she loved running around, and she does this often

flying like a bird. she learned today at dance, butterflies fly the same way!

she also picked from the cherry tree with eddie's help

and she was so proud when she would pull one off

she would go show oma, then shove it in her mouth.

she also enjoyed chasing their super shy cat around the yard.

the cat would come within a few feet and the second emi moved

the cat would take off and emi would go chasing it.

which i'm sure confused her because the cats at home love to be petted.

emi got to sit in the red high chair we all sat in as children

and i'm sure we even wore that bib.

waiting for  the burgers and brats.

 

emi warmed up very quickly to them

which was great, because i can count on one hand how many times 

she has been around them.

this was hilarious. that is not actually a hat.

it is a tea/coffee pot warmer, which oma's mother made.

 

we all got a good chuckle.

this is when she first put it on.

it was funny to watch her walk around with it

because it is heavy and her head would lean back.

 

eventually it covered her eyes and she didn't seem to mind one bit.

we were there for most of the day 

we had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

thank you oma and opa for having us over.
