 |
| On Sunday we went to Franz's house and had a traditional Bavarian dinner of roast pork, red sauerkraut, knoedel (bread dumplings), and weissbier. Yum! |

| this week Theo learned how to stick out his tongue |
 |
| Today we took Theo to the Skirball Jewish Cultural Center in Los Angeles where there is a great children's exhibit called Noah's Ark. The exhibit is a giant indoor wooden "boat" made up of several different play areas filled with animals, toys, and all kinds of activities. Everything is hands on and interactive so Theo had a great time exploring. |

| playing with animal toys on a little ark |
 |
| Everywhere you look there are levers and wheels that you can push and pull that make all the big animals move around and make loud noises. |
 |
| A friendly lion over the door. |
 |
| All over the exhibit there are play areas, books, puzzles, instruments, and other activities. We didn't get a good picture of it, but in one spot there was fake animal poop on the ground that Theo got to sweep up with a baby-sized broom. |
