Jesaiah's birthday/Weekend in Switzerland

Jesaiah just turned 7 on Friday...I can't believe how the time flies! I remember when he was born like it was yesterday, I couldn't have wished for an easier or quicker birth! (Otherwise we wouldn't have made it to the hospital!) He is such a 'big boy' now. He is growing up so much, it is such a blessing to see his heart for God already, I am so thankful for him!
We didn't do a birthday party this year because we went to Switzerland instead. Taliah's Godmother lives in Zürich and we have been planning, since Febuary, to go and visit her and her husband and this was the only weekend that worked for everyone.
We went down on Friday afternoon and stayed the night in the youth hostel and on Saturday we went to a really cool children's 'museum' called kindercity.
We spent the whole day, from 10am til 5:30pm, it was a really interesting place, lots to do!
Jesaiah and Taliah each got to do a workshop, Jesaiah did one on cars, he learned how to change a tire and check fluids and he got to build his own model car to take home. Taliah did a creativity one where she built a lighthouse out of cans and a glass jar with a candle in it. The workshops were 90 minutes long so while they were in there the rest of us went through the other part, caleed 'wissenswege' (paths of knowledge). There was so much to do, and Zachy just loved it, there was a water 'game' with balls and air pumps and everything, there was also a music area with drums and piano on the floor to walk on. Another area had 'experiments' dealing with physical handicaps. We could practice in a wheel chair, try walking on stilts, sack race, the whole area was all about how our body works and what it would be like if something wasn't functioning like it should. It was very interesting. The biggest hit though were the peg boards. I don't know what they are really called but they have pegs in them and when you press your hand or something in them the shape is pushed out on the other side, they are really cool, and as you can see in the pictures we all had a blast with them!
The kids would love to go back, maybe someday!
We really enjoyed spending time with Lia and Manuel and having fun in Switzerland...thanks Lia and Manu!
Hope you all enjoy the pictures!
