Ensche-day

The commercials on television tell us that we have only 2 days until autumn, but we are enjoying another beautiful late summer in Enschede. We biked on Sunday to the Volkspark and enjoyed the scenery until James ran into his first brandnettles (aka fire nettles-- it feels like fire ants and it is not fun). Once we realized what had happened and dried the tears, the wee man was back to crawling about.
When walking through the city the other night I saw that the "architects of air" display was set up in front of the Oude Kerk (Old Church). Think of a jumping castle, but molded into turrets illuminated with sunlight when you walk inside. We dropped by today, and it is the IDEAL baby environment. The light effects can get a little woozy, but it is all crawling space with soft corners-- perfect for James. He loved it, charmed the crowds as usual, and we had a fun time. Here are the photos.

The cathedral of air was marvelous. It looked so peaceful and calm in there. : )

Totally cool! Love the pic of you and the little man - the one w. you in the foreground, him on his knees in the background.
