A thingstätte sounds intriguing right? It's an amphitheater... which if you're me, you pronounce "AMPitheather" and if your Nathaniel (and apparently everyone else), you pronounce "AMFitheather". Whatever. ;) SO.. after our adventures at the Technic museum we headed towards Heidelberg. It's always a fun city to visit, but I was excited to be visiting something new.
William still holding his ticket to the technic museum.
Best attempt at a shot of all three. It looks like C and W are discussing something important. Maybe the pinecone?
Andrew was positively GIDDY with all of the leaves. It was like every little boy's dream land with a foot of fresh leaves to kick and jump in.
Ta-Da! Isn't it amazing? The Nazis built it in 1935 as part of some initiative to built thousands of them all over the country to use for rallies, etc. Now it's used for concerts, festivals, etc. It's really incredible... pity it's got the Nazi association which can't help but dampen the coolness factor...
Cameron wanted a scarf, but with little kids I always worry about that strangulation hazard, not to mention the annoying bulky factor. I came up with this option (ravelry.com helped). I need to try again with a softer yarn.. this one is a little to scratchy for him.
My most accommodating model!
Maybe it's all the listening to a new favorite album called Stairwells, but I took about 30 pictures of stairs on this outting. :) On this stairwell I couldn't help it. The light was delicious.
As were these two handsome guys.
If you hike to the top of the amphitheater there are some ruins from 1070ish of an old monastery. Super cool.
A good day. All the kids even fell asleep in the car after a gourmet lunch of McDonalds. :)

So glad you liked Thingstaette! It looks like it was deserted, so you had full run of the place, huh! Perfect romping ground for little boys--I hoped you'd enjoy it! Loved the pics--your boys are so cute! It would be a blast to see our crews play together one day.
Wow. That is really cool. Even if it was built by Nazis. The Monastary is even more cool. And your kids are so dang cute!!! I'd ask how you got such cute kids, but all I have to do is look at you and Nathaniel and I know ;)
