Having fun with the kids
Not my own though. Last saturday my aunt, my cousin and her two boys came to meet us, that is my mom and my sister and I of course. We aren’t a very close family. I do have some relatives, but we usually don’t have so much to do with each other and so far we’d never missed anything. But two months ago we went to the 95th birthday of my grandma and met my aunt and my cousins again and even though we couldn’t spend time alone, we all felt, that we would like to engage more with each other.
So we invited them to come with the boys. We planned to go to Legoland with them, which is a new attraction in town. My sister and I took the boys while my mom went sightseeing with the other adults. Even though we are in a family generation with my cousin and not with her sons, my sister and I felt, that we belong to the children and not to the adults. Strange, I know. I am 27 years old and still a child.
Legoland was amazing! We had such fun! There was a 4D cinema, a lot of models made of Lego stones like tigers, snakes, dragons, landscapes. There was a Lego factory, where the kids learned how to produce the stones and so on. It was fantastic and even though we are “big children” now, we still had a lot of fun. Later we went to the historical market, that was in town that weekend. We enjoyed the time there even though it was raining quite a bit. Back at home we had some delicious apple tart before they went back home, after spending eight hours with us.
I really enjoyed the time and I truly wish to have more contact to this part of my family. I really do hope we will make it.
On sunday I had the most delicious sushi ever! It was to die for.
Yes, I had an amazing weekend. Tonight I went out with friends but it felt strange. I didn’t feel, well, belonging? It didn’t feel very good to go out with friends and actually hope to be somewhere else, because we couldn’t really connect. Maybe it is because I am feeling so disappointed by all of them due to the whole photography thing. I don’t know. Anyway, it felt strange for the first time ever.
On thursday I’ll attend my first photography workshop. I just hope it will be good and interesting. It is definitely a step in the right direction. And that makes me kind of happy! I’ll tell all afterwards.
